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
