Edwin Eriye Education is the foundation of every nation; no aspect or level of it ought to be neglected so as to engender all round national development. A polytechnic in Nigeria today offers about 70% of technological programmes which are veritable tools for nation-building and development. On the contrary, polytechnic graduates over the years have suffered serious neglect by the federal government and the labour market. Polytechnic graduates cannot proceed directly on a master’s degree programme whether of distinction grade or not; he or she has to be subjected to a minimum of another one year of postgraduate diploma course before proceeding directly to master’s degree as against the university B.sc / B.Eng holder proceeding directly to master’s degree programme. Employers believe polytechnic education is not for those who are intelligent enough to do academic work. Polytechnic students are also made to serve or work under university graduates as head of department or unit...

Eke van Victor and Banjoko Damilare The Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) of Lagos State Polytechnic on Monday laid siege on the Council Chambers of the Polytechnic in a bid to air their grievances over what they claim to be the demigration of staff salaries. Workers were seen with placards, sitting, waiting and chanting outside the chambers which was well guarded with armed security men. The Deputy Registrar, Public Relations Unit, Mr Olanrewaju Kuye who spoke to our correspondent on the issue said that the management’s action was a “realignment of nomenclature” rather than a demigration which he says is a more demeaning allusion. "We are doing the correct alignment of salaries structure. It is not demigration as claimed by the Union.” He said.  “The state government wrote the National Board for Technical education (NBTE) Kaduna that gives us correct information and mandated the management to go and do correct realignment of salaries structure and that is what we've d...

Eke van Victor It was drama, delight and despair as School of Communication and Liberal Studies flagged off their LASPOSUG league campaign with a scintillating performance; firing four unreplied goals behind the net in what ended as a demolition, destruction and annihilation of the School of Technology team. Three of the four goals came from the Mass Communication talisman, Hassan Quadri who was assisted twice by teammate and birthday boy, Towolawi Samod. Earlier on matchday one, two-time champions SMBS, Isolo ran away with a two-goal victory over defending champions, School of Agriculture as an own goal by Korede in the first half and a rocket freekick by Sanya in the dying minutes of the game ensured that SMBS, Isolo would not regret travelling to Ikorodu on the first matchday. The match between School of Engineering and School of Pure and Applied Sciences which promised to be a fierce fight and a festival of goals ended ironically in a goalless stalemate. While School o...

David Dosumu I remember clearly the first time i set foot on the Mass Communications department, Ikorodu campus, the first thing I saw was the list of the newly elected member of Mass Communication Student Association, MACSA. All was fine until I sighted in one corner a particular post, "LADY VICE PRESIDENT". This is not particular to mass communication department alone, but to all student associations in Lagos State Polytechnic. This does not only abase the ideology of gender equality but celebrates gender bias;Quite demoralizing for young minds of the 21st century. Over the past few years I have watched a lot of feminists who have summoned courage to fight for the female gender. While some females feel they are subordinates, domestic slaves, sex slaves etc., these set of people(feminists) have one single lyrics: equality for everyone. Following the African background, one can only find reasons for difficulty in achieving equality among all. The background we all come fr...

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has issued a notice to all its structures and organs to commence mobilisation for mass protest against the Federal Government, the Academic Staff Union of Universities, and the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics on Monday January 7th, 2018 This was contained in a statement signed by the association’s President, Danielson Akpan. The association accused the parties involved of not making adequate steps towards resolving the crises. According to Mr Akpan, the university lecturers are not showing enough commitment to end the strike, saying they staged a walk-out during negotiations with the government despite the that fact that the FG willingness to meet two out of their three demands. He noted that none of the issues the lectuers are agitating directly improves the lot of Nigerian students or infrastructure and basic amenities on the campuses. Again, why are Nigerian Students made to suffer for the interests of ASUU or ASUP ...
