Is Mapoly and Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia the same?

"Is Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (Mapoly) and Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia the same?" has been a concern and most asked question from the aspirants of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic.

The ex-governor of Ogun State, Amosun caused great chaos in Moshood Abiola Polytechnic by trying to create a new polytechnic in the state and upgrading Moshood Abiola Polytechnic to Moshood Abiola University of Science and Technology (Maustech).

Unfortunately, this never worked out as he planned as the Management of Mapoly disagreed with most of the steps taken by Amosun.

After handling over to Dapo, the current Governor of the Ogun State, he reversed back every chaos created by the ex-governor, Amosun to its normal state by discontinuing the Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia project and therefore resume back the admission for National Diploma in Moshood Abiola Polytechnic.

The management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic has started admitting new students who want to gain admission into National Diploma while Ogun Polytechnics Ipokia project has been put to a pause.

Moshood Abiola Polytechnic and Ogun State Polytechnic are different institutions that would be run by different management; so they are not the same.

If you have chosen Ogunpoly, Ipokia in this year Jamb, know that Mapoly has given you option that you can apply for Mapoly instead. When applying on Mapoly website, register with your Jamb number. Your information will be sync to Mapoly. Note that this doesn't that Mapoly and Ogunpoly, Ipokia are the same because you will resume to Mapoly and not Ipokia

As from next session ( 2020/2021 ), it is very possible that new aspirant will be able to choose Mapoly when registering through Jamb.  

I hope this has answered your question and clear your doubt. If yes, I am glad about that. If you have any further question, Ask through our messenger and join our Facebook group to get answers to your question and don't forget to share this with others.

ASUP MAPOLY RESOLVES TO RESUME PART-TIME LECTURES

Members of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics in Nigeria (ASUP) of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta Chapter at its congress on Thursday, 11th October, 2018, agreed to resume lectures for all Part-Time categories of students with effect from Monday, 15th October, 2018, following the fulfillment of part of its requests by the Management.

It should be recalled that an indefinite strike action embarked upon by the ASUP to press home its demands in September, 2018, obstructed academic activities for Part-Time Students of the Institution.

By this development, all Part-Time National Diploma and Higher National Diploma students are advised to resume for lectures on Monday, 15th October, 2018.

Meanwhile, all categories of students, who are yet to complete the payment of school fees (i.e 40% balance) and registration for the 2017/2018 academic session, are being reminded to do so before the closure of the portal.

MAPOLY lecturers declare ‘work-to-rule’ strike

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) at the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, on Monday, declared a ‘work to rule’ strike over what it called sorry-state of the institution and unpaid salaries as well as cooperative deductions.

The union also demanded true state of accreditation of courses at the newly established Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).

Rising from an emergency congress of the chapter on Monday in Abeokuta, the Zone ‘C’ Coordinator of ASUP, Comrade Olawale Omobaorun noted that the future of the institution is hanging in the balance.

It would be recalled that the government last upgraded the polytechnic into Moshood Abiola University of Science and Technology (MAUSTECH) and transferred the structure of the hitherto MAPOLY to the new polytechnic.

The Union leader recalled that some of the agitation which led to union’s two months industrial action in 2017 had not been addressed.

Omobaorun said the ASUP had written to the NBTE seeking confirmation of the new polytechnic’s accreditation approval but the board has not replied barely a year after the letter was written.

“The 38 years old foremost model polytechnic in Nigeria with record of uninterrupted academics sessions even without government subvention for over a decade have been battling a war of conspiracy with both its owner (Ogun State Government) and the two most important stakeholders in the education sector in the country, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) respectively in its quest for survival,” he said.

The Zonal Coordinator lamented that the institution “is at the verge of collapse”, calling for an emergency attention it deserves to save the situation.

“The chapter hereby resolved to resume the work to rule resolution of union. T

This action shall be sustained until our demands are met.

“It may interest you to note that economic activities and strength of the state are now been traumatized by the seized glory of MAPOLY,” the union leader said.

The government of Ogun state has killed MAPOLY

The chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP), Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Chapter, Comrade Kola Abiola has claimed that the academic staff will follow the school calendar despite the challenges facing the staff.

Abiola speaking on a radio program "Ayekooto" on sweet fm 107.1 in Abeokuta on Friday evening said the Ogun state government has killed MAPOLY.

The ASUP chairman further explained that the Union is not against the creation of new polytechnic, adding that they are after job security of its members.

He said, "lecturers are not happy to delay students on campus, we are still going to follow the school calendar, the date slated for exam is the day students are going to write their exam if anything should go wrong the school management should be responsible, but, we the staff are not saying you should not write exam"

"The reason behind all the crises of OGUNPOLY/MAPOLY is that our members should not lose their job, but, we were shocked when we heard the news from NBTE that there is no MAPOLY and they have not approved OGUNPOLY to kick off."

"If this month end it will be four months that we have not been paid salary, we have completed one year for part-time students without receiving any dime for it"

"We were not thugs and we have not destroyed any government property since the emergence of this issue, but, we were amazed that the Ogun state government describe us as a terrorist that they can’t talk to us, we have said it and we will continue to be saying it that, the progress of the state is our priority".

"Before all these crises, NBTE approved all the 24 courses offered in MAPOLY to continue for the next five years, with this approval MAPOLY can admit students into ND and HND programme for five years".

"We duplicate the approval letter and we send it to the governor that the window can be continued and use that time to develop OGUNPOLY".

" as things stand now we don’t know the faith of MAPOLY, OGUNPOLY, and MAUSTECH, technically the government of Ogun state has killed MAPOLY".

Drama as student, lecturer exchange words in class room

There was a mild drama in HND1 department of Mass communication following a disagreement between a lecturer and a student.

PCM gathered that the disagreement erupted when a Senior Lecturer at the department, Wasiu Tejuosho claimed that one of his past students often pay him N250,000, a week before Ileya festival, as a means of appreciation.

It was observed that a student screamed at the top of his voice, shouting ‘na lie’.

Following the student’s claim, the class turned a market where noise got to the verge of calling the attention of the lecturer, thereby disrupting the class activities.

However, the lecturer, on an attempt to get the accused student, called on the school securities arresting over 15 students of the class for interrogation before nemesis caught up with the suspects.

The accused student, as at the time of filing this report was dragged to the school security unit for punishment

Acting Mapoly Rector Escaped BLACKWEEK DAY2 #SAVEMAPOLY

Greatest Nigerian Students
I think its high time we let the Govt and the school management know that we are fed of this game they are involved in. Its affecting our personal life and if care is not taken things may worsen more than this.

The incident happened this morning when we all gathered at Skating ground to go and have dialogue with the school management most especially the Rector. On getting to school, the gate was locked, we told them at the school gate that we didn't come for Violence, that we are here to see the Rector.
The school gate was opened, on getting there, the school PRO was sighted trying to escape through the bush behind the uncommissioned filling station beside the gate, some students went after him and told him we only wanted to see the Rector, and he complied with us, he was taken down to the school admin with a bike to call the attention of the Rector to the students at the school entrance.
 

Few minutes later, the CSO brought the Rector in the Campus Security Surveillance hilux bus, open roof, the Rector actually started his speech, but it reached a point where he started acting cunning, so the students shouted that we want you to follow us down to the governor's office, and he actually agreed to do that.
 

We moved out of the school premises in masses having the Rector amidst us. When we got to Iyana Oloke at the end of the untarred road, some armed policemen approached us and ask that where are we going to, we told them we are heading to the governor's office, and they allowed us to pass. On getting to the tarred road, the person who drove the Hilux suddenly opened the door, and started driving recklessly, hitting students on the road, meanwhile we have close to 20 students at the back of the hilux jeep, some fell down, the bus stepped on some students leg, some from behind. The remaining students at the back of the Hilux were nowhere to be found now.
 

That was what happened that provoked the students and we mobbed the road and silence everywhere to panseke. On getting there, we met armed policemen fully loaded and set with their gun ready to fire shots at us.

Merciful Nigerians, come and save our lives from oppressors, we are tired, we can't continue to face this sufferness.
See the way police officers are harassing us.
God help us

We recorded about 29 students that were injured right now. The Rector was not kidnapped, the CSO carried him away.

OGUNPOLY IPOKIA GETS ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL TO ADMIT STUDENTS

The Ogun State Government has announced that the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and the Joint Admissions And Matriculation Board (JAMB) have granted full approvals for the take off of academic activities at the Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia with immediate effect.

It wil be recalled that some students of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta today visited the Governor’s Office in Abeokuta to express their concerns about the delay in the commencement of their examinations and continued strike action of the lecturers which they noted had greatly undermined the completion of their various programmes at the institution.

Although a section of the students displayed some unacceptable conduct while the interaction lasted but as a responsible government, we appreciate their anxiety and therefore assured them that government was working day and night to ensure that all issues relating their concerns were resolved.

Following several inspection visits to the site of the Polytechnic, we are delighted to report that the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has granted accreditation to the Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia to commence academic activities in18 programmmes

In a related development, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has also announced the opening of its portals for prospective students to enable them register for courses at the Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia for the 2017/2018 Academic Session.

 This development further confirms government’s position that the interest and welfare of all students of its various institutions as well as their parents is paramount and will always be accorded a pride of place by our government. We are confident that normalcy will return to these institutions very shortly.

 For the benefit of all stakeholders, we like to state that the crisis arose in the first place from the refusal of the lecturers to call off their strike.

 Among their demands is that government must pay them full salaries including the months they did not work on account of an illegal and totally unwarranted work to rule action. For the avoidance of doubt, Government restates that no one will be paid for work not done. And no one will be allowed to hold the good people of Ogun State to ransom.

We call on our students to immediately return to their classes as we continue to work round the clock to resolve other outstanding issues.
