The Special Assistant to Oyo State Governor on Students Matters, Mr. Olojede Victor has intervened and settled the rift between the students of the Oke-Ogun Polytechnic on their last Students Union Government election.
Victor made this effort during his visitation to the institution as one of the familiarization tours to get acquainted with the management and students of tertiary institutions owned by the state government.
The Oke Ogun Polytechnic had it’s Students Union election which was marred with irregularities and led to violence. The management of the institution having heard this declared the election inconclusive. Three months after, the management of the school after adequate investigation officially announced a certain candidate ad the Students Union President.
The other presidential candidate, on the other hand, did not take this resolution in good faith, this has been affecting the activities of the union and make it impossible for the executives to rightfully perform their duties as the student union building was confined.
After the meeting with the school management and students involved, Mr. Victor was able to harness the reason for peace to reign on campus for the benefit of all which led to the issue being resolved amicably.
“I have come as the representative of the state government to resolve the ongoing crisis between the student’s comrades in struggle. Herewith I am students leaders across the state and beyond who have experience in settling students related crisis.
” Having met with the management and the students involved, we have been able to resolve everything. The presidential candidate declared by the School, Comrade Hussein Hakeem Adewale and his team will go on with union activities while the other party, Comrade Yusuf Ibrahim Adedare has been given the opportunity to pick up the speakership position.
More so, the case of a former Union President of the institution, Comrade Mathew Abiodun Richard, who has a disciplinary case that led to the delay of his NYSC was tabled before the management and I am happy to tell you that the management has yielded to our plea and agreed to review his case and allow him to go for service.
