After the declaration of a ‘one-week’ protest which have been tagged ‘Black Week’ by the Students’ leaders of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY). Here are six reasons why the entire students of MAPOLY mustreturn to Abeokuta to take part in the protest:
1. January 15,2018 marks the end of 2016/2017 academic session, if the present HND2 and ND2 students are yet to do their exam before the above stated date, they will be certified as graduate of 2017/2018 academic session. i.e extra year without failing any course.
2. The present ND2 students will tentatively spend two years on Industrial Training (IT).
3. HND2 students will be unable to join their compatriots for NYSC April/May Batch.
4. Students in ND1 will spend elongated time on Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) which will automatically put an extension to their academic race meant for two years.
5. Landlord and students fracas would be almost inevitable due to overdue house rent.
6. Prospective students who chose MAPOLY as their choice institution would not have the opportunity of resuming school until after the next Jamb because admission gate would be shut by then.
