The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has commended the Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, for his administration’s decision to spend a sum of N2 billion on intervention projects at the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta.

 

NANS noted that the huge amount of money will go a long way to relaunch the polytechnic back into reckoning after years of low activities following the failure of the immediate past administration to upgrade it to a university.

 

The student body equally commended the governor for donating a 28-seater bus to the polytechnic to enhance the transportation of students to and from the campus.

 

Governor Abiodun, on Tuesday, had announced during the institution’s 15th combined Convocation Ceremony held at its Ojere campus, that the state government would inject N2 billion into the school for intervention projects.

 

According to the governor, some of the intervention projects to be carried out include a 500-seater ultramodern hall, construction of a road leading to the institution’s auditorium, a building for the Department of Accountancy, and the construction and equipping of a new library.

 

NANS, in a statement by the Chairman, Ogun Joint Campus Committee, Gabriel Abiola Francis, hailed Governor Abiodun for restoring the lost glory of one of the best polytechnics in the country.

 

Francis observed that the school, which was in comatose before Governor Abiodun assumed office in 2019, has since been given a lifeline by the incumbent administration in the state.

 

He expressed optimism that the projects, when completed, will accentuate the infrastructural development of the school.

 

The student leader stated further that the 28-seater bus donated by the governor will go a long way to ameliorate the transportation stress being faced by the students.

 

While urging the governor not to relent in his administration’s efforts to reposition all levels of education in the state, Francis implored him to extend a similar gesture to other state-owned institutions.
