The management of The Polytechnic Ibadan, has through a recent memo, announced its decision to remain resolute on its embargo on students' activities.
The management made this known through a memo tagged "RE: EMBARGO ON STUDENTS ACTIVITIES ON CAMPUS," released on 17th November, and it comes following two other memos earlier released to the same effect.
The memo alleges that some Departmental/Faculty associations and Students' Union have continued selling receipts, ID Card holders, neck-mesh, and other student insignia against the management's directive.
The statement signed by the Deputy Registrar (Student Affairs), Mr. Gboyega Odejobi on behalf of the Student Affairs' Dean, restated the illegality of these actions.
"Please be informed that all such activities are illegal and hence should be put on hold forthwith, as the management of the institution has not lifted the embargo on such yet."
"Students are strictly warned to desist from those activities mentioned here and the like, as any student caught on such an act will be sanctioned," the statement added.
However, this announcement comes contrastingly to the expectations of several students, as they had hoped the inauguration of the new SUG would ease the embargo previously placed on students' activities.
Recall that the institution had, on November 11, inaugurated a new set of Student Union executives and legislators following the recently concluded online election.
