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.

Tell Governors To Secure, Protect Their State, Olokoba Urges Tinubu
Comrade Razaq Olokoba, an activist, Convener of Campaign for Dignity in Governance and Coalition of 70 Civil Society Organisations, has advised President Boal Tinubu on measures to take against the spate of insecurity across Nigeria.
Olokoba’s made known his thought in a piece.
The piece reads: That Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi Gumi, can work with state government does not make it compulsory for him to as well works with the federal government, especially on the hydra-headed security crisis in the country.
Considering the burgeoning security challenges faced by the country for around a decade so far, the president, as a matter of urgency, needs to give complete approval for state layer of security institution, as the refusal to pay ransom to kidnappers who are currently on rampage in the country may end up making them more defiant, with the Nigerian public rising to compel the federal government to rescind the decision, as that would seemingly aid the release of victims. So adequate measure needs to back the decision to assuage the tension among the citizens.
Furthermore, additional special security strategy should be built around all soft targets in the states with high level of insecurity, which targets mostly students, National Youth Service Corps, NYSC members, farmers, etc. in the next one year when a new layer of security will be put in place.
The president and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces needs to emphasise the need for governors to take charge of their states as they understand the peculiarities of their various state better.
In this light, Governors Babagana Zulum of Borno, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos and and few other states, methinks, stand out as good examples.
Also, more emphasis should be laid on the need for the long-debated issue of State Police. The National Assembly has to rise to the occasion by heeding to the yearnings of Nigerians in this regard in order to check the rising cases of extra-judicial killings, kidnappings and gun-running by non-state actors.
Taking up this challenge with relieving measures for the safety of the citizenry and their property, as a matter of fact, will surely ostracise the minds of purveyors and beneficiaries of these crises who believe the government can only work when they are in the picture as unsolicited mediators.
