The management of the Osun State polytechnic has shut down school activities indefinitely following the protest of students which led to the destruction of some property at the school’s medical centre.
It was reported that an HND 1 student of Applied Science; Aminu Sheu fainted yesterday afternoon right after he finished his examination. He was immediately rushed to the school medical centre at about 3:40pm but the staff on duty allegedly told those who brought him to the clinic that the clinic had closed for the day.
Events took another turn when they could locate a nearest hospital, as the student eventually died. The death of the student brought about the protest towards the manner at which the school’s clinic handled the matter.
A statement by the school’s Media Relations Officer; Tope Abiola on behalf of the school’s registrar, Barrister B. M. Salawu reads; “This is to inform the general public that Osun State Polytechnic Iree has been closed down. As a result of this, all students are to vacate the school premises with immediate effect.”
