FAKE NEWS ALERT! Students tagged Poly Ibadan News Blog to their rumored post - POLY IBADAN NEWS TEAM

We the Poly Ibadan News TEAM got information about the news that circulated on social media using our brand name POLY IBADAN NEWS BLOG and tagged with the rumor and false information about the school on April 1st known as FOOL DAY. We will like to announce to you that the rumor or false information wasn't published on our blog and neither was such posted on our platform by any of our team. We, therefore, advise the public and students to disregard the information.

We were able to put a call through the person who forwarded the message until we reach the original writer of the said rumor information whose surname is Oyelami from the Faculty of engineering. We accused the original writer of sharing false information using the influence of our brand name and thereby misrepresenting our brand name. See his response below. 

We further up our claim and advise him never to tagged our brand name anymore because we won't hesitate to take legal steps against him. See his response below. 

Another writer whose nickname is MAC-ALOH also claimed that he wrote the rumor as well. See image below.

We know that POLY IBADAN NEWS PLATFORM has continued to grow its audience so large since 2017 and has always been one of the best sources of information in the school for the students and its environs. We are not surprised that a writer took pride in our brand name and to use our influence to make themselves popular without full authorization. People don't go after a platform that doesn't have influence or value. Using our BRAND NAME is not the problem but using it negatively is what is totally wrong.

Fees increment: NANS vows to shut down The Polytechnic Ibadan

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has threatened to shut down The Polytechnic Ibadan over the astronomical increase in tuition fees by management of the institution.

The Students Associaion (NANS) says in a statement jointly signed by its leadership, Mr. Adeyemi Azeez, NANS National PRO and Mr Adekitan Adebisi, NANS South-West Coordinator on Friday in Abuja.

It expressed displeasure over the increment noting that the poor had the right to be educated in the country.

“NANS condemned this in totality as we cannot continue to watch our fundamental rights being turned to a source of revenue by the anti-poor and anti-students government.

“NANS describes this increment at this trying period for civil servants as a deliberate attempt towards making the future of promising Nigerian students to become sudden academic dropouts.”

The leadership of NANS also alleged that the present administration by this increase was making education not affordable to the sons and daughters of the poor.

The association however, called on the government to reverse the school fees to status-quo to avoid industrial action.

“Failure to adhere to the above ultimatum, NANS national leadership shall mobilise en-mass for protest on Thursday, Jan. 10, and shut down activities in Oyo State.

“NANS hereby directs all students not to pay the school fees until NANS informs otherwise.”

We wish you all merry Christmas and happy new year

SUG assaulted over peaceful walk against increment in tuition fees

On the 13th of December, 2018, the Students' Union Government of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, presided by Com. Akadiri Bayonle Seun decided to have a peaceful walk to express their feelings of discomfort about the recent increment in the tuition fee.

The peaceful walk which started from the Students' Union Building in North Campus, to the South Campus of the school was disrupted at the Sport Pavilion of North Campus by the School Security Personnel. The disruption which led to the President of the Union, Com. Akadiri Bayonle Seun being assaulted, and their placards being destroyed, was spearheaded by the Chief Security Officer of the school.

In the post "peaceful walk" talk with the President, Com. Akadiri Bayonle Seun, he said, "This isn't a protest, this is just a peaceful walk of solidarity to reinstate our stance on the no increment of the tuition fee and yet, I was assaulted, slapped and in the process, lost a button of my shirt."

The Students' Union Government, with this, redirected their  peaceful solidarity walk to the Directorate of Students' Affairs office where the Dean, Dr. Sikiru Ajibola implored the Union to exercise patience, maintain calmness and not retaliate consequence of the assault. The Dean furthered that, the agitations of the Union being poured out through letters have been sent to the appropriate offices, and that the Board of Governing Council of the institution will take the necessary steps of action.

Below is more photo snapped at the peaceful walk against the increment of the school tuition fee.

We pray the school management reconsider and reduce the tuition fees.

Note this before paying your tuition fees

This is to inform you to hold on before proceeding to pay your tuition fee as the STUDENTS UNION GOVERNMENT (SUG) had forwarded a note on media due to the increase in the tuition fees, The notes goes thus:

STUDENTS UNION GOVERNMENT
THE POLYTECHNIC, IBADAN

Attention:

It's so disheartening and uncalled for, for The Governing Council of The Polytechnic Ibadan that has planned and implemented school fee Increment for newly admitted students.

But our efforts in negotiating with the management for total reversal of the increment is proved abortive with the word SAY NO TO INCREMENT

After deliberation with the management, they insisted that the tuition fee must be increased by certain percentage not total reversal as we are clamoring for.

The tuition fee was already increased by 10% last session and acceptance fee had already been increased this session

So, having not been able to reach compromise with the management,  the management went ahead with the increment in the tuition fees to be paid by the newly admitted ones which was increased by 50% levied on newly admitted students.

We hereby urge all the concerned student's not to make any payments till further directive by the union. 

Its our believe that the increment will be reversed totally without any increment if this note of ALUTA is strictly followed.

Kindly be patience and give Maximum support in any means or whatsoever.
