Students of the Polytechnic, Ibadan in Oyo State have kicked against renaming the institution after former governor, late Victor Omololu Olunloyo.<\/p>\n

Recall that the state\u2019s Governor, Seyi Makinde in a commendation service on Thursday, to honor late Olunloyo, announced the renaming of the institution to Omololu Olunloyo Polytechnic, Ibadan.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the development on Friday, Student Union Government of the institution expressed dissatisfaction over the new name.<\/p>\n

In a statement by the schools\u2019s SUG President, Comrade Oladipupo Olamide, dated 26 of June, 2025,\u00a0 described the decision as \u2018unjustifiable and degrading\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe, the Students\u2019 Union Government of The Polytechnic Ibadan, are writing to express our utmost disapproval and disappointment at the recent decision to rename our institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly believe that this decision is unjustifiable and disregards the rich heritage and history of our beloved school.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over 50 years, The Polytechnic Ibadan has been a beacon of academic excellence, producing outstanding graduates who have made significant contributions to society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe name \u201cThe Polytechnic Ibadan\u201d is synonymous with quality education and has earned respect and recognition nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cRenaming the institution would erase its identity and legacy, causing irreparable harm to its reputation and alumni.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge you to reconsider this decision and allow our school to retain its original name, which reflects its history, values, and mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are willing to engage in dialogue to find alternative solutions that benefit the institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe request an immediate reversal of this decision and look forward to a prompt response.\u201d<\/p>\n
