MAPOLY’S STATEMEMENT ON NYSC MOBILISATION OF ITS 2017/2018 HND GRADUATE
Authorities of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, write to present its position on the Mobilisation of our HND graduates of 2017/18 academic session.
The crisis that rocked the institution in the last three year almost grounded the institution leading to the declaration of ‘work to rule’ action by the union which made the second semester examination almost impossible.
But the commitment and deliberate sacrifice of Academic and Non-Academic staff made their final *Examination* possible in March 2019 amid strike and Non-payment of salaries and allowances
After much pleas and payment of November 2017 salaries, the strike was temporarily suspended by the lecturers to allow for second semester examination while suspension of academic activities continued till May 29, 2019 leaving backlogs of post-examination activities unattended to.
Recently government approved express marking of scripts through conference marking with payment of outstanding allowances of previous pending post examination allowances.
The quick intervention of the of the Ogun State government to restore academic activities and resumed payment of accrued salaries and allowances owed staff made the academic staff to resume full academic and post examination activities.
The process of concluding all outstanding post examination issues for the recently graduated 2017/2018 HND graduates is on going with speed and commitment and results and mobilisation for NYSC will not be delayed for one second after the exercise.
It is on record that Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, have not been delaying our students for NYSC mobilisation and will not do that for any reason with the current graduates.
As a matter of fact, MAPOLY mobilsed students in NYSC Batch ‘A’ stream 1 and 2,(April 2019), Batch ‘B’ stream 1 and 2 (July and August 2019) and as at today the institution is not having any outstanding students to mobilise for NYSC.
While we want to appeal to our students to exercise patience, management wishes to appreciate His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR, for his understanding and support in the areas of salaries and allowances as well as restoration of peace and full academic activities to our campus.
