Students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Monday, gathered at their school gate to protest the increase in the acceptance fee paid by newly admitted students among other issues.
The students, who trooped out to the campus gate as early as 7am were seen in their numbers holding placards with inscriptions such as #No To Increment of Tution Fee, #Rector Must Go, #Release our Result ASAP among others.
Among the issues affecting the students included delay in result, shortage of staff and increment in the acceptance fee for fresh students.
The Students Union President of the institution, Babatunde Adelola, noted that the management alleged that the institution is not getting adequate subsidy from the state government, which prompted the hike in acceptance fee paid by fresh students from N35,000 to N50,500.
Adelola also lamented the delay in release of results, which often lasted one year for a semester result to be released. This, he said, has affected the academic performances of students.
