Soldiers Storm RUGIPO Campus As Students Disrupt Examination Over ‘No School Fees, No Exam Policy’
Soldiers are presently sending students out of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic campus in owo, over an unrest that started inside the school this morning, a RUGIPO student reported.
The Pandemonium reportedly broke out when Students of the institution troop out in their numbers to protest against the policy of ‘no school fees, no examination’ by the management of the institution.
The angry students who were sent out from their various halls for non payment of school fees went berserk, leading to rampage and destruction of properties worth millions of naira, including the invasion of the ICT centre of the institution.
Speaking with journalists, the Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Owo chapter Mr. Rafiu Ijawoye describe the students action as embarrassing, displeasing and unacceptable.
Ijawoye accused the management for not providing enough security it members calling on the state governor Barr. Rotimi Akeredolu to come to their rescue as well they were no longer save.
The ASUP Chairman added that he has directed his members to withdraw academic activities till further notice.
The Students Union Government President of the Institution, Comrade Ayejuyo Temitayo, when contacted was not reachable as his phone line was switched off.
This is a situation that ought to have been addressed before the commencement of their examination. How can a student write examination without paying for school fees, many of the students because of their life ought to have paid for their school fees but rather preferred going to jamboree all about.
Nonsense, the issue should have been resolved. Authorities should know that school fees is inevitable
akeredolu is very weak
