BREAKING: Students Protest Against Renaming Of Poly Ibadan

THE BUREAU NEWSPAPER reports that the students of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State are currently staging a protest over the renaming of the institution to Omololu Olunloyo Polytechnic.

The protest has left hundreds of commuters plying Sango-Eleyele Road in Ibadan stranded.

THE BUREAU NEWSPAPER reports that the State Governor, Seyi Makinde, had renamed the institution in honour of the late former governor of the state, Omololu Olunloyo, who died at the age of 89.

Dr Olunloyo was the governor of old Oyo State between October and December, 1983. He was the first indigene of Ibadan to serve as the governor of the state.

He also served as rector of the Polytechnic.

Findings by our correspondent revealed that the students blocked both the entrance gates of the institution and Sango-Eleyele Road.
