Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has approved the re-opening of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree for continuation of academic activities, 

In a statement by the commissioner for education, Mr Dipo Eluwole, the step was taken by the state government to ensure that academic activities in the institution are not disrupted further.

It enjoins staff and students of the institution to ensure that peaceful co- existence reigns within and outside the campus.

The State Government had ordered the closure of the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree Campus, for two weeks following the return of the suspended Rector, Doctor Tajudeen Odetayo.

It would be recalled that the state government had suspended Doctor Odetayo for alleged gross misappropriation of funds and abuse of office.

He was replaced by Doctor Alabi Kehinde who was appointed in the acting capacity.

Doctor Odetayo had taken the step to resume following an order of the National Industrial Court, Ibadan Division which reinstalled him as Rector.

Meanwhile, Acting Rector appointed by the state government,  Doctor Kehinde Alabi has appealed to members of the institution’s community to remain calm.
