The management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, has announced the indefinite closure of the institution, effective Monday, January 13, 2025, until further notice. This decision stems from a recent protest by students over the institution's directive requiring verification of National Diploma (ND) results from their previous schools.
Reasons Behind the Closure
The directive to verify ND results was introduced as part of the institution's efforts to maintain academic integrity and ensure that all qualifications submitted by students meet the required standards. However, the policy was met with resistance, leading to a protest that disrupted normal academic activities. In light of these events, the management deemed it necessary to close the institution temporarily to safeguard lives, property, and the academic environment.
Commitment to Academic Integrity
MAPOLY's management remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering a credible academic system. The institution has zero tolerance for fake results and other forms of academic malpractice. By implementing rigorous verification processes, MAPOLY aims to uphold its reputation as a center of excellence in higher education.
Safety Advisory
In a statement issued by the institution, students have been advised to vacate the campus and return to their respective homes. This measure is intended to prioritize the safety and security of students, staff, and the general public. Parents and guardians have also been urged to encourage their wards to comply with this directive.
Communication and Updates
The management assures all stakeholders that regular updates will be provided as new developments occur. Efforts are being made to resolve the situation promptly and ensure a smooth resumption of academic activities.
For further inquiries or additional information, stakeholders are encouraged to visit the official MAPOLY website or contact the institution's management directly through official channels.
Conclusion
The indefinite closure of MAPOLY is a necessary step to restore order and address the issues raised by the recent protests. The institution remains dedicated to creating a safe and conducive learning environment and appreciates the cooperation of all stakeholders during this period.
