JAMB Delists Four Osun State Owned Tertiary Institution From Website. by tclever: 4:49pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
has delisted four tertiary institutions owned by Osun
State Government have been from its website.
They were said to be delisted for next two academic
sessions on the request of the state government over
plans to restructure them.
The institutions as made known by the Alumni
Associations of the four state-owned tertiary
institutions are Osun state Polytechnic Iree, Osun
State College of Technology, Esa-Oke, Osun State
College of Education, Ila Orangun, and Osun state
College of Education, Ilesa.
This is as no fewer than 50,000 students who have
been offered admission to study various courses in
the four institutions might forfeit their admissions.
The President of OSPOLY Alumni, Iree who is
spokesperson of the alumni bodies, Mrs. Mobola
Odebode said state government had written to JAMB
to delist the affected institutions for the next two
years in order to give way for its proposed
restructuring of the institutions.
Odebobe who was flanked by other alumni
Presidents said the state government has refused to
listen to the voice of reasoning on the rumoured
merger of the four tertiary institutions stressing that
Governor Rauf Aregbesola is trying to obliterate
polytechnic education in the state.
She said that most of the affected admission seekers
to these institutions had been offered provision
admission for 2015/2016 academic sessions but were
surprised to find out that their potential schools are
no longer on the JAMB portals.
Her words: “It is painful that despite pleas from
traditional rulers, host communities, political parties,
students, market women, Alumni Associations and
well meaning Nigerians, the government has refused
to listen to he voice of reasoning on the matter. As
products of institutions, we had resolved to continue
the struggle to protect the existence of these
institutions.
”Part of the frustrations we envisaged is already
manifesting. It is before the public knowledge that
the state government, last week sacked over 250
workers in Osun state Colleges of Education, Ila
Orangun and Ilesa. These institutions already lack
academic and non academic staff for the past five
years.
”Also, over 50,000 students who applied to the four
state owned tertiary institutions through Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will be
denied admission as the government has written to
the admission body to delist these four institutions
for the next two years. This means that none of the
affect state-owned institutions is on the list of JAMB.”
Odebode also disclosed that Osun state government
had ordered the four institutions to advertise
admission for vocational and remedial studies thus
querying the government on why polytechnic should
lay the role that a technical college could play more
effectively.
She said “It is rather ironical that at a period that
China is converting universities to polytechnics to
advance the technological education as a key for the
growth AF development of the country, the state of
Osun government is trying to obliterate polytechnic
education.
“We are so confident that the government wants to
destroy the whole system for their private business
benefits. We are fully aware of correspondences
between some private institutions approaching the
affected institutions to divert their admitted students
to their various schools,” Odebode added.
The alumni body however condemned the alleged
dismissal of the over 250 workers and demanded for
their reinstatement.
The associations also demanded that the state
government withdraw the letter written to JAMB to
allow admission to the affected institutions ad allow
candidates who have been offered provisional
admission to continue their programmes. |
