Senator Ademola Adeleke,Osun State Governor has announced the reversal of the school fees of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree to the initial amount prior to July 2022 Governorship elections.
According to a memo signed by Adelani Aderinola,Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education addressed to the acting Rector of the polytechnic reads: Further to your letter of reference number 0SPOL/BUR/101/VII/239 dated 13th December,2022 on notification of approved fees for 2022/2023 academic session says the Management of the institution should suspend the implementation of the new school fee regime because of the recent change in the leadership of the State, the statement read:
In an interview with a Student of the institution who preferred anonymity said there is no difference in the Old fees and the one recommended for implementation adding that the Government want to discredit all the works of Former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and that is why this happening.
According to a twitter user, Afolabi Henry Adedapo @loyalists team,he noted that the Min. of Edu. under the former Governor @GboyegaOyetola never approvd any increase. No memo to that effect came to their tables. If they were to adjust tuition it wouldn’t hav ben Iree alone since Iree & Esaoke are sister polytechnics. So,why are u playing politics with everything?
Others,hailed the Governor for the reversal.
