The Ogun State Government has removed the Rector of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Oladele Itiola, and ordered him to proceed on terminal leave with immediate effect.
The sack of the rector was announced shortly after the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Ogun State Joint Campus Committee embarked on a protest against alleged nonchalant attitude of the state government to the education sector.

The statement announced the appointment of Ayodeji Tella as the Acting Rector of the polytechnic with immediate effect.

It would be recalled that Nigeria was also fined by CAF during the last 2016 AFCON qualifying game against Egypt at the Ahmadu Bello stadium in Kaduna which witnessed an unprecedented crowd that overwhelmed the security and full capacity of the stadium.
