Misconception about resumption and exams.

Following the postponement of exam without any official statement to it and the announced ASUP strike which collided with the week of examination, there has been different misconceptions about when will the school resumes and when is exam to commence.

I want to inform you that as stated by the PR unit of the institution, the school only embarked on festive holiday and everyone is to resume on Monday 7th, January, 2019 while students await the announcement of the new examination date.

On ASUP strike and Mapoly, it is noteworthy that ASUP Mapoly did not release any official statement to indicate their participation in the ongoing strike, as such, it is believed that they are not part of the strike.

Students are therefore advised to resume back to school on Monday as examination date may be announced anytime soon.

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".

MAPOLY Students’ Union frowns at delay of result

Our attention has been drawn to complaints of our students filtering the internet as regards the delayed of results in Moshood Abiola Polytechnic especially result of the out gone N.D II students.

Observing the bitter complaints of students which are capable of bringing name of this great citadel of learning into mud, the Students’ Union President Comrade Owoiya Rasaq has written a warning letter to the management, stating the complaints of our students.

However, it is important to note that, the incumbent Students’ Union executives frowned against any form of depriving rights of our students, as there are 3c’s which must be properly expended in the Aluta struggle.

It should be recalled that, the out gone N.D students graduated from this Institution with hardship in February 2018, since then they have been wandering around the streets. Some were challenged at their places of I.T placements, some were rejected to further their education into University, Some were denied to further for their HND programme in the same Institution they had their N.D programme.

On this note, the Students’ Union executives have deemed it fit to fight for the release of our students’ result, as the Union is working tirelessly, ensuring the release of the out gone N.D II students’ result before this month runs out.

The incumbent Students’ Union executives will never rest on her shores until the management release our results.

The Union also uses this medium to call unto the Management of this Institution to find lasting solution to the delayed of result in Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, and release results of the out gone N.D II students, to avoid any form of disrupting the school activities.

However, we extend our appreciation to the progressive-minded Mapaites who has always strived for the better ‘Moshood Abiola Polytechnic’. We pray as we resume for second semester 2017/ 2018 academic session, we shall have the course to praise thy lord.

Management Finally Declared Deadline for School Fee Payment

With respect to the closure of portal, the student union executive has made it clear today that the closure of school portal has been extended till June 6. This was confirmed after the Student Union had a meeting with the school management and their plea had been agreed upon. 

Though commencement of examination still remains 25th of June, we urge the students who are yet to pay the school fee to see this as an opportunity to pay.

May God provide for our needs. Stay tuned for more details.

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
