The students who have been at home for 3 months on strike, said;
We’re supposed to have written our examination on September 18 but ASUP MAPOLY used that as a negotiation tool with Ogun State Government. .
As it is today, for the past three months, we have not been able to write the examination and there is no green light if we are going to write the examination, this year
The disagreement between the Ogun State Government and members of the Academic Staff Union Polytechnics (ASUP) of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic chapter, on relocation of the institution to Ipokia in Ogun State reportedly led to the 3 months strike.
