WE DID NOT SACK FOWODE,OGUN STATE GOVT. CLAIMS...FOWODE WENT ON TENURE LEAVE
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE, MAPAITES ASK
When the students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta heard "The Wednesday Announcement" of the sack of the immediate past rector Arch. Tokunbo Fowode, little did they know that the Ogun state government led by Sen. Ibikunle Amosun has more in its fold.
The state government soon gave orders to partnering banks of the institution to freeze all accounts operated by the school in order to forestall illegal and unapprove withdrawal which are likely to occur,while not stopping payments into the accounts.
The bone of contention according to discussions between the students on campus now is how will they make payment for various fees through the school microfinance bank or the school portal,especially with the printing of receipts and course forms. They (students) nurse fear of what may become the payment,you will agree the fear is genuineas there were past events of 'double-paymeny' and non-refund by management.
Prior to the sack, the management of the institution has already slated mid-October for the commencement of the second semester examinations but with new appointment,the students beg answer to speculation of change in academic calender.
Also,being speculated within the campus community is the opinion of state government to increase not only the acceptance fees but also the school fees and the implementation of unfavourable policies.
while these opinions remains mere speculations,we wait to see the arrival of the new rector, Prof. Itiola oludele

ABUSE OF POWER: AMOSUN'S MEN KILL STUDENT,ONE OTHER
Bode
It was a black Sunday in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital when men of the Vigilante Service of the State,VSO shot dead a student of Moshod Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta; Moruf Raji, 29, and a staff of MTN, Akeem Usman ,32.
The deceased were murdered while chasing some suspected armed robbers.
DailyPost gathered that the incident occurred at Adigbe town in Abeokuta, at about 1.00am.
A team of the Vigilante Service had chased the robbers to the area and later ordered residents of 18A Sorinola Avenue, Ori’yanrin, to open the gate, believing they were shielding the suspected bandits.
An eye witness recalled that occupants of the building, who were mostly students, refused to open the gate because they thought some unwanted persons wanted to gain entry. Both Moruf and Akeem, it was learnt, went out of their rooms to find out the identity of the visitors. But as they attempted to open the gate, a member of the VSO fired live bullets killing the duo instantly.
Not done, the VSO team forced their way into the compound, then ransacked the rooms within the compound.
The state government and police command are yet to react to the matter. Meanwhile, a DailyPost source says the students would mobilise to protest the unjust killing of their colleagues.

RESCUE MISSION: SENATE WADES IN TO END ASUP AND FG DISPUTE
The Senate, on friday 5th July,2013 wades in to put an end to the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic, ASUP and Federal Government, FG over-a-month-feud.
Dr. Chibuzor Asomugha informed Insidemapoly that the senate committee on education has intervened to find solutions to the total strike due to outcries from Nigerians at home and abroad to resolve the dispute between the Union and the FG.
According to him:”The Senate Committee has pledged to intervene and meet with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and the Office of Accountant-General of the Federation with a view to sorting out issues around the completion of appointment of members of governing councils of six polytechnics and the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) imbroglio.”
Asomugha, who described the ASUP meeting with Senate Committee as fruitful, said “specific assignments were given to different stakeholders with Tuesday next week as deadline for results.”
Present at the intervention meeting were members of the Senate Committee on Education, Education Minister, Professor Ruqayyatu Rufa’i and Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu.
Also present were Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education, NBTE, Dr. Mas’udu A. Kazaure; National Publicity Secretary, ASUP, Mr. Clement Chairman; Permanent Secretary (Education) and Director of Establishment (Head Of Service)
It would be recalled that ASUP embarked on nationwide indefinite strike on April 29 over what they termed Federal Government’s insensitivity to its demands.
ASUP is asking government to adequately fund polytechnics, appoint qualified rectors in Nigerian Polytechnics, and resolve the issue of integrated polytechnic pay-roll system, among others
Insidemapoly hopes that this is not another "mission impossible" as poly students are tired and weary of staying at home idle

VIDEO: POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS PROTEST CLOSURE OF SCHOOLS
Our Agitations and Protests havent gone unnoticed.
Even when some media houses have decided to turn deaf ears and blind eyes to cries over the closure of schools of all polytechnics in the country,a few have found reasons to atleast give us a hearing as well as coverage.
Our recent protest in Lagos was recently covered and broadcast on the network of Television Continental,TVC Lagos.
It is our expectation that other print and electronic media houses will follow suit.

CALL OFF THIS STRIKE, STUDENTS BEG ASUP
In a bid to return to their classrooms and continue with their academic activities, students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, MAPOLY, have appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, to end the strike action which has crippled activities in polytechnics across the country.
Some of the respondents revealed that they have been idle since the commencement of the strike action and any further delay may cause more harm than good.
Some of the respondents revealed that they have been idle since the commencement of the strike action and any further delay may cause more harm than good.
An ND1 Accounting student of the institution, Adisa Oluwafehinsola Lydia siad: “I’ve been idle since ASUP embarked on the strike action and it’s really killing me. Our school calendars will also be affected with this action.”
“I want the federal government to consider us and give ASUP their demands so that this strike action will be called off as soon as possible,” she added.
Speaking in the same vein, another student, Oshilaja Olatunji, lamented that apart from the effect of the strike action on the school calendar, he has been spending more than necessary since the strike action had been embarked upon.
He also added that those who were supposed to be working on their projects would be delayed.
“It is unfortunate that the federal government has closed its eyes to the yearning of these people because we’re the ones bearing the brunt.”
Onifade Akinyemi, a Business Administration student of the institution, said the effects of the strike action are devastating as it prevents them from catching up with their counterparts in the universities.
“All my friends in the university will be ahead of me with this kind of setting, it’s also not good enough for the school calendar because it will draw us back.”
“We heard that the Board of Directors had a meeting yesterday and t they insisted on continuing with the strike. I know it’s quite annoying but that’s what we have to live with until the federal government gives them what they want,” she said.

POLYTECHNICS STRIKE: NAPS, NANS CALL ON FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR URGENT INTERVENTION
THE National Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) and the National Association of Polytechnic
Students (NAPS), have called on the Federal
Government, to as a matter of urgency, intervene in
the nationwide strike embarked upon by all the
three unions in the nation’s polytechnics.
It will be recalled that the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP) and the Non- Academic Staff Union (NASU) are currently on industrial action over government’s refusal to implement agreements it signed, aimed at rejuvenating the polytechnic system. The president-elect of NAPS, Mr Ogbonnaya Sunday, who spoke with the Nigerian Tribune, shortly after the union’s national convention, held at the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, at the weekend, said the strike had grounded all activities in the polytechnics.
He said: “We are begging the Federal Government to look into ASUP’s recommendations and come up with a commendable stand so that this strike can be called off. .. “Gone are the days we use violence to get what we want. We believe in three Cs— consultation, consolidation and confrontation.
“Like I said, we will not confront, but will make sure that we exhaust our two Cs— consultation and consolidation. It is when those two fails, then we will consider the last option.”
The NANS Senate President, Donald Onukaogu, admonished President Goodluck Jonathan, to take seriously the welfare of civil servants and warned the leadership of ASUP not to politicise its demand from government...
Onukaogu said: “We have had a press conference on that issue and we told government clearly that staff welfare is important. The hallmark of any virile education sector is having a well-mobilised workforce. “We have equally told the ASUP that it should not politicise its demands. It should not make demands and go on strike over every little thing. It must always face the reality. “It must consider the financial strength of the country, what is achievable and workable before making its demands?”....

LOVE GONE SOUR
What happens when Love gone sour? What happens when that makes two-love laugh stops? This is a true-life story of Blessing Ikhumhi and Cyril Okoson.
If anyone had told Blessing Ikhumhi that Okosun Cyril, the man she once loved, would turn around and bath her with acid, she would not have believed it. Neighbours and friends used to see the duo as Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’. But they were wrong. Even Blessing once saw him as “the best thing that could ever happen to her,” because she never believed the words of William Shakespeare, which asserts that, “there are daggers in men’s smile.”
Their romance turned sour with tragic consequence for Blessing, a 23-year-old student of Edo State School of Health Technology. If she would ever regain her sight she would see all men as “monsters” because she has seen “hell” in the last three months as a patient at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Benin City. Doctors in the hospital believe she may never see again except she is flown to a specialist hospital in India, where her sight could be restored. Blessing’s story is a sad one.
Her ordeal began when she told his boyfriend, who is now in police custody in Benin, that she was no longer interested in what she described as “uninspiring relationship.” The news did not go down well with him. He visited her house and asked for a talk. The victim had gone outside to meet with the man whom she thought might have come to settle with her and probably, persuade her to continue in the relationship, but to Blessing’s shock, she was bathed with acid. From that fateful day, she has seized to see and has been on admission at the UBTH. “He was my boyfriend and we had arguments in February. He beat me to the extent that I was not able to go to school for three days. I told him I was no longer interested in the relationship. He later tried to forcibly take my telephone, but I refused to give it to him. I told him he was not the one who bought it for me.”
“On March 23, he called and asked me to meet him in front of our house. I refused initially, but he insisted, so I came out. He asked: “Do you mean you don’t want me again?” I said: “No! I was no more interested in the relationship. And immediately, he poured the acid on my face. Since that day, I have been on admission at the UBTH and the doctors say I might not see again except I am flown to India where my eyes could be restored. “. She noted that Cyril was the last person she expected to treat her so badly.
“I never knew he would have the heart to pour acid on me. I made a mistake. I have learnt the biggest lesson of my life. My prayer now is that God should touch kind-hearted Nigerians to come to my aide so that I would be able to get treatment abroad, since my parents cannot afford it.” Ikhumhi, a native of Fugar, Etsako Local Council of Edo State, has pleaded with public-spirited Nigerians to come to her aid.
Domestic violence has been on the increase nowadays as aggrieved lovers have been pouring acid on their estranged partners. In March 2010, Oluwatoyin Safiu Morufu, from Oyo State, was reportedly bathed with acid by his wife of over 16 years, Uloma Beatrice, from Abia State.
In 2011, a suspect, Samson Igbinomewahin, 47, was arraigned at an Ebute Metta Chief Magistrate‘s Court, Lagos, for allegedly pouring acid on his wife, Mrs. Susan Jeremiah, 31.
Also, a 35-year-old man, Ndubisi Okoro in 2011 allegedly bathed his wife, Anthonia, with acid. He was arraigned before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court in Lagos, charged with attempted murder. In November 10, 2012, a jilted man in Ikotun, an outskirt of Lagos, bathed his wife with acid.
Men of Ikotun Police Division immediately arrested him. The list keeps rising everyday as acid bath has become a weapon of revenge.

18 MAPAITES ESCAPE ELECTRICUTION
Eighteen students of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic , Abeokuta, on Thursday narrowly escaped electrocution on their way to school.
The incident occurred at Oluwo junction area of the town at about 7.45 a.m. when an electric pole belonging to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) fell on a bus conveying the students.
The bus, a Nissan Urvan marked Lagos EW 78 SMK, was smashed on impact. However, luck was on the side of the students as there was no electricity supply in the area at the time of the incident. According to witnesses, the electric pole toppled after it was rammed into by a caterpillar belonging to the China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC). The company, which is under contract from the Ogun State Government to repair major roads in the state, was carrying out construction works in the area where the accident occurred.
The bus was coming from Oluwo area of the town and was trying to link Ojere/Kolobo road when it was stopped by a Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) official controlling the traffic situation at the junction. It was at that point that the pole fell on the vehicle. The students were immediately rescued from the smashed vehicle by on-lookers. The shaken bus driver, who gave his name as Ondo, attributed the narrow escape to God’s favour. He added that negotiation was on with the construction company on how to repair the damaged vehicle.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of MAPOLY, Sulaiman Adebiyi, described the incident as an unfortunate one but said that all the students involved escaped without any injury. He also appealed to parents to remain calm as the situation was under control.
“It is a very unfortunate incident but we thank God all our students involved are now in school receiving lectures,” he said.
