    Students of The Polytechnic, Ibadan have trooped out en mass to protest the decision of Governor Seyi Makinde to rename the institution after one of his predecessors, late Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo.

    Hundreds of commuters plying the ever-busy Sango-Eleyele Road in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, were stranded as a result of the protest.

    Makinde has few days ago renamed The Polytechnic Ibadan Omololu Olunloyo Polytechnic, Ibadan.

    Olunloyo who was the first Ibadan person to serve as the Governor of old Oyo State, served between October and December 1983.

    The students in the early hours of Tuesday blocked the entrance gates of the institution. They also blocked the ever busy Sango -Eleyele Road.

    This made many commuters, residents and travellers plying the road to be stranded.

    Some staff are also stranded as the majority of them were unable to gain access to the institution.

    The Oyo State Road Transport Management Agency (OYTMA) in a statement by the Executive Chairman, Maj. Adekoya Rtd. enjoined commuters to use alternative routes for their movements pending temporary blockage of the roads.

    He wrote: “The general public are hereby informed of an ongoing student protest at The Polytechnic Ibadan, main Gate, the road in front of the school gate has been temporarily blocked.

    “Motorists heading towards Eleyele, Apete, Ijokodo, and nearby areas axis  from Sango and vice visa are advised to take alternative routes through Dugbe, Mokola or Ajibode to avoid delays and unnecessary confrontation.

    “We appeal to all road users to remain calm, cooperate with traffic officers, and follow all traffic  diversion signs.

    “Thank you for your understanding.“
