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.

Students' Should Take Heed To SUG Advice (Pend Payment Of Tuition Fee)

The Students' Union Government (SUG) of The Polytechnic, Ibadan (TPI) has urged students to pend the payment of their tuition fees due to the recent hike in the amount to be pay by each students.

Since the School Management increased the amount of tuition fees to be pay by each student, the SUG had since then reacted and had took a series of action.

Following the recent hike in the tuition fee of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, the Students' Union Government led by Com. Akadiri Bayonle Seun has implored the students, both prospective and returning students not to pay the tuition fee as purported by the institution as dialogues are still ongoing concerning the fee.

Similarly, as regards the criteria for clearance, the SUG reached a conjecture with the School Management, and was acceded that prospective HND students who graduated three years ago should present their National Diploma certificate, while those less than three years will present notification of result.

The Polytechnic, Ibadan Includes Certificate Of National Diploma Among Clearance Criteria

The management of The Polytechnic, Ibadan includes Certificate of National Diploma among clearance Criteria as well as Hostel fee receipt.

The just admitted HND students of The Polytechnic, Ibadan,  today 17th of December, 2018, voiced their disgruntlement over the National Diploma Certificate being replacement for the notification of result, and the inclusion of Hostel fee receipt among the criteria for clearance procedures.

The certificate which goes for a fee of about Twenty-nine thousand Naira and the Hostel fee of about Twenty-one thousand Naira have contributed to the inability of most students to undergo their clearance.

In this vein, the students thereby cry unto the management for the resolution of this discrepancy that affect the clearance procedures.
