NANS commends Gov. Abiodun for returning MAPOLY to staus Quo Ante
Agency Report
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has commended Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State for returning Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPPOLY) to staus quo ante.
Mr Adeyemi Azeez, the association’s National Public Relation Officer (PRO) disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
Azeez commended the governor on his reversal of the planned and sudden pronouncements of predecessors on MAPOLY.
He recalled that NANS had in some months ago, condenmed the actions of Senator Ibikunle Amosun on his pronouncements on the Moshood Abiola Polytecnic, thereby describes it as an ill-equipped idea.
He also recalled that the former governor Ibikunle Amosun scrapped the existence of the school, renamed it as ogun polytechnic and ordered that it should be moved out of the state capital in Abeokuta to a kutonu boarder area, ipokia precisely.
Azeez said this led to series of agitations along side unpaid workers salary, thereby closing down the school for months.
” NANS make bold to say that the actions of the former governor on Mapoly was not acceptable and would have cummulated to gross negative effect on the known glory of MAPOLY, if not for this reversal by the present governor.
Azeez commended the rector, Dr Samson Odedina, for his comportments and endurance althrough the tenure of immediate pass governor.
” No doubt, this has obiously extended the proposed days of our students on campus and as well delayed the graduates of the school from going for the mandatory NYSC.
” We appeal passionately to governor Dapo Abiodun to as a matter of urgency address the long issue of Tai Solarin College of Education (TASCE), as it has affected the lives of students of the school, whereby many have been lured into different forms of social vices.”
He, therefore, warned that if by midnight of 23rd of June,TASCE issue remains unresolved,the president of NANS Mr Danielson Akpan, shall relocate to Ogun state on Monday, 24th of June to meet with neccesary groups and agencies (government inclussive).
He said the visit would be to find solution on how TASCE students would be returned to school.

Reps Security Session: Wale Raji Proposes Service Extension, Special Courts to Tackle Insecurity”
Joel Ajayi
The House of Representatives, on Thursday, intensified its search for sustainable solutions to Nigeria’s worsening security challenges as lawmakers continued it’s Special Plenary Session dedicated to reviewing the nation’s security architecture and strengthening its legislative response to growing threats.
Contributing to the debate, Hon. Wale Raji Member Representing Epe federal constituency of Lagos State and the Chairman House committee on livestock development presented far-reaching proposal aimed at strengthening national defense and tackling the escalating wave of insecurity across the country.
Hon. Raji commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the recruitment of additional personnel into the Nigerian Police Force and the Nigerian Army. He, however, stressed that beyond new recruitment, Nigeria must urgently retain the institutional memory and field experience of officers nearing retirement.
Raji proposed an extension of service years for retiring military and police personnel—provided they are medically certified fit—arguing that their expertise is indispensable at a time when national security is under severe strain.
“New recruits will require extensive training and time to gain experience,Meanwhile, we have seasoned hands whose skills and knowledge can still be harnessed. The Public Service Rules allow for this extension, and we can consider an additional two to five years for fit and capable officers.”he noted.
The lawmaker further pushed for the establishment of Special Courts or Tribunals to handle terrorism and banditry-related cases. He recommended that investigations, trials, and convictions be conducted within a six-month window to ensure swift justice and send a strong message to criminal elements.
Hon. Raji also urged the House to accelerate constitutional amendments to make state police a reality and called for stronger integration of local governments into Nigeria’s security structure. Citing successful community-based security models from Lagos, he stressed their effectiveness in tackling local crimes and aiding prosecution.
Responding to Raji’s presentation, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Okezie Kalu praised the recommendations as “thought-provoking,” particularly the suggestion to re-engage retired officers whose experience the nation cannot afford to waste.
Kalu said the idea could lead to the creation of a special, highly trained force led by experienced officers who left the service due to promotions or political appointments.“It is a very stimulating suggestion,We will dissect it further and reflect it appropriately in our resolutions.”he said.
The House is expected to develop concrete actions based on these proposals as Nigeria presses forward in the fight against insecurity.
