IBADAN POLY FEE HIKE AND ASSAULT

PRESS RELEASE
15/12/2018

Our attention has been brought to the current infamous situation in Ibadan Polytechnic arising from the outrageous hike in the school fees following recent increments in the school and acceptance fees and last session.

The information reaching us from the members of our student network in Ibadan through a signed broadcast by the current student union under the leadership of Comr. Akadiri Bayonle Seun, has it that the current controversial increment was as much as 50% and all effort to reach a bearable compromise for the students have proved abortive.

To this effect, the student union instructed all its members to suspend all payment until the issue was resolved then they embarked on a peaceful protect to express their grievances as provided for in the Nigerian constitution. To our shock, a report that reached us from a reliable source alleged that the President was slapped by the Chief Security Officer (CSO).

We believe it's very insensitive for the school management of Ibadan Polytechnic to increase the school charges by 50% considering the current economic challenges in the country. However we have at once set our teams on this case and HELP Foundation is very much interested in it. We are making consultations for legal actions if the school fails to do the needful- reverse the increment and prosecute the CSO for violating the rights and dignity of student unionism in Nigeria.

Join our hashtag campaign on social media- #helpibadanpolystudents -and together we will yet again preserve the rights of a Nigerian student to a safe and affordable education.

By:  Omole Tabel T. The Tale of my Path. I thought of dropping several things, seeing an ant turn enormous right before me. Becoming unbearable is the word that leaves our mouths. Getting to an end is certain, how to pass is blot. I see the path I was to tread so obscure, All in my thought; I just need to focus and I will be there. To my surprise, the wing of an elephant can not make it fly. Yet, still in my state of dry rain, I drop everything in my hands to embrace the shadow that never comes to my grip. All in the name of one thing. Despite the journey filled with thorns, The slogan remains; Never Give Up All in the name of one thing. At last my journey has come to a bay the best complain, the average prate " the journey is for the strong and the mighty" all in the name of one thing. Whenever you are met, the questions you are asked, and how people relate with you on surface is based on this one thing. *And for you, not to fail though it may

The question of why digital creativity workshop out of many other skills with which students can be empowered' may have crossed the minds of many and we deem it worthy of address. As we all know the prevalence of Internet scam among the youth in our day is on an alarming increase by the day and it's no better even among tertiary students. We've come to understand that many reasons ranging largely from the level of poverty, to lack of employment but largely among students is : Lack of legitimate self-sustaining opportunities coupled with lack of Purposeful orientation for the use of Computer system. You will see the idea of START-UP self-sustenance campaign expecially in digital creativity is one way to give nigerian students a better orientation as to the use of Computer system in a way that benefit both them and their immediate society. Are there plans for other skills? Yes! we are definitely incorporating more skills as we go from school to school including en
