Again, students protest renaming of Ibadan polytechnic
The students of Omololu Olunloyo Polytechnic are currently protesting at the main gate of the institution, located on Sango/Eleyele Road in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The State Governor, Seyi Makinde, had renamed The Polytechnic, Ibadan, in honour of the late former governor of the state, Omololu Olunloyo, who died at the age of 89.
Despite the earlier warning by the institution’s management that the students should shelve their planned protest, a large number of students came out to express their grievances, calling on the governor to rescind his earlier decision.
Academic and other activities in the institution are now put on hold, while the Sango en route Eleyele axis is temporarily blocked.
