No school fees increase at Kwara Poly – Rector

Kwara State Polytechnic,

The Rector, Kwara State Polytechnic, Alhaji Mas’ud Elelu, on Friday said that the institution had not increased its school fees.

Addressing newsmen in Ilorin, the rector debunked rumours circulating in the social media that the school had increased its school fees.

“The campaign on the social media is callous and not a true representation of the institution’s authorities.

“I urge the general public to always seek clarification when they are in doubt over activities of the school,” Elelu said.

The rector advised the public to verify information on fees and other activities of the school on the institution’s official website.

He explained that the institution was involved in legitimate businesses to sustain its operations in order to survive the current economic recession.

Elelu also described as untrue speculations that the institution asked students to pay before mobilising them for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

“Any of our graduates that is yet to be mobilised for the NYSC scheme must have either been expelled, is sick or has a carryover in a course,” the rector said.

He advised the public to always clarify issues with the school rather than rely on Social Media which, he said, are subject to abuse.

According to him, students may not be admitted into the hostels as the institution is collaborating with the private sector on the rehabilitation of the facility.

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’. The Minister said by asking the US to refrain from selling warplanes and other military equipment to Nigeria based on a faulty premise, the Congressman has demonstrated a poor understanding of global security issues. ”Insecurity anywhere i
