Olaiya added that the earlier ban placed on students’ union in the school had also been lifted.

He said that the school management had been directed to constitute faculty representatives that would see to the affairs of the union till the end of the current semester.

Olaiya also said that the council also ratified the recommendation of the committee which mandated all the students of the institution to pay N10,000 damages to serve as a deterrent.

“The council ratified the recommendation of the committee, and the resolution is that the expulsion of the 27 students has been converted into suspension for the 2023/2024 academic session.

“For those who were earlier suspended, they have been fully pardoned with a warning not to involve themselves in such acts again.

“Also, the council has lifted the ban placed on student union activities in the institution following the protest.

“The polytechnic management has been directed to constitute a body of the faculty representatives that will hold forth, the union position between now and the end of the semester.”

“Finally, all students of the institution are to pay N10,000 each as damages to serve as a deterrent against such ugly incidents in the future,” he said.
