Oyo poly restates commitment to protecting lives, property

The management of Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa has restated its commitment to the protection of lives and properties of students within and outside the campus.

The management was quoted in a statement by the Acting Registrar, Mr. O. A. Oladipo as submitting that one of our core responsibilities is protection of lives and property of the students.

The statement read, ‘Eruwa is the host community of the Institution and we can’t ignore the fact that some of our dear students were victims of the occurrences, and the Management of the Institution is not happy about it.
Since the outbreak of the insecurity challenges in the community, the Management held a series of security meetings with relevant stakeholders within the community, including security personnel and necessary measures have been put in place by concerned authorities, all in a bid to put an end to the menace.

“We should not shy away from the fact that there are insecurity challenges in every part of the country, but as Management of the Institution, and in conjunction with relevant community stakeholders, we are putting adequate measures in place (and relating with various government quarters) to put an urgent end to the prevailing challenges. It’s also significant to inform the general public that none of the incidents happened within the premises of the Polytechnic, as the school environment still remains peaceful.

“Our decision as Management in asking students to proceed on two weeks mid-semester breaks, effective from yesterday Monday 28th August to Monday, September 11th, 2023, is to avoid possible misunderstanding between the students and indigenes of the host community. At the same time, we aim to use the period to engage necessary stakeholders in finding lasting solutions to the challenge.

We equally use this medium to appreciate the security personnel and all relevant stakeholders within and outside the community who have been actively and positively involved in the fight against insecurity in our area. We also encourage the public to ignore misinformation from agents of fake news.”
