The polytechnic Ibadan; DPP STUDENTS ARE STILL BONAFIDE STUDENTS

The management of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, has debunked the news being circulated on the Whatsapp platform among students of The Polytechnic, Ibadan claiming the institution has unidentified the DPP students as bonafide students.

The news, as publicised by “Poly Ibadan News Blog” on April 1, 2019, read thus

POLY IBADAN NEWS BLOG: 01/04/2019.
THE NEWLY APPOINTED RECTOR OF POLY IBADAN ANNOUNCED THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF AJUMOBI KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT DAILY PART TIME PROGRAM(DPP). THAT THE FORMER ADMINISTRATORS OF THE SCHOOL WERE EXTORTING MONEY FROM STUDENTS. HENCEFORTH, NO DPP STUDENTS IS IDENTIFIED AS A BONAFIDE STUDENT OF THIS GREAT INSTITUTION.
ALL DPP STUDENTS ARE ADVICED TO WITHDRAW. AND SHOULD ALSO COME TO THE BURSARY WITH ORIGINAL RECEIPTS FOR COLLECTION OF ALL FEES PAID ALREADY.
HE ALSO SAID THAT THE TUITION FEE FOR ALL FULL TIME STUDENTS HAS BEEN REDUCED. AS THERE WON’T BE ANY PAYMENTS OF 40% IN THE SECOND SEMESTER.
ALL FULL TIME STUDENTS SHOULD THEREFORE PAY THE JUST THE 60% ONLY.
HE SAID IT AFTER A CLOSE DOOR MEETING WITH SOME TOP ADMINISTRATIVE HEADS, THE FACULTY DEANS, THE CSO,
THE DEAN STUDENT AFFAIRS, AND SUG EXCO.

When our correspondence got in touch with the management of the institution, it was said that the broadcast message was just a mere propaganda, and the usual prank of April Fool, and the content therein in the broadcast are far from the truth, and students should desist from sharing it.

It was further said, that the new Rector met with the core management of the institution on April 1, 2019, and nothing of such was discussed.

Thence, the management said, the DPP students are still bonafide students of the institution and no DPP programme has been scrapped as a few students who did ND DPP are currently running their DPP HND programme.
