Osun govt orders reopening of Osun state polytechnic, Iree

Osun State government has approved the reopening of Osun State Polytechnics, Iree after two weeks closure.

According to a statement signed by Commissioner for Education, Hon. Dipo Eluwole, the decision was to ensure that academic activities in the institution are not disrupted further.

“This is to inform the general public especially staff and students of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree that Mr. Governor has graciously approved the re- opening of the institution.

“This step is taken by Government to ensure that academic activities in the institution are not disrupted further.

“Staff and students are hereby enjoined to ensure that peaceful co- existence reigns within and outside the institution’s campus.”

It will be recalled that the state government ordered the closure of the State Polytechnic, Iree Campus, for two weeks on Thursday, September 7th, and declared its bank account frozen with immediate effect.

The closure of the institution might be connected to the return of the suspended Rector, Dr Tajudeen Odetayo, as the acclaimed substantial rector of the polytechnic after a court order obtained by him.
