The Students’ Union Government (SUG) of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) directs students to observe a peaceful sit-at-home on Monday, August 3, 2026, following a recent increase in school fees. In a statement issued on Sunday, the union says it decided on the protest after failed negotiations with the institution’s management and ongoing concerns that have not been resolved despite rounds of dialogue. The SUG says revised fees already appear on students’ portals, but the financial impact remains difficult for many students and parents amid prevailing economic conditions.
Students are instructed to stay away from lectures and other academic activities as a form of collective expression of dissatisfaction. The union also emphasizes that the action is intended to be peaceful and is not an appeal to violence. In addition, the SUG calls on transport operators and other commercial drivers within the polytechnic community—such as shuttle operators, commercial drivers, and tricycle operators—to suspend operations in solidarity with the protest. The statement also reaffirms the union’s intention to continue dialogue while urging management to reconsider the fee increase.
