The rain semester examination of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede,

Osun State earlier postponed by the management of the institution is scheduled to commence today.

Recall the examination scheduled to commence two days ago, Monday 9th September 2019 was shifted by 48hours to allow the management to mediate in the rift between members of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) and students.

The President of the students union, Rufai Opeyemi is at the centre of the rift. It began when a car belonging to the lecturer reportedly caused an accident where it was parked within the premises of SUG, in which two students were injured.

According to Opeyemi, the accident resulted in a violent reaction from the students and an attempt was made to set the car ablaze but for his prompt intervention and tactical move to persuade the agitating students by deflating the tyres of the vehicle.

He said his intervention did not go down well with the lecturer, who reported the case to ASUP and later referred to the Students’ Disciplinary Committee.
