Ibadan Poly speaks on viral ritual video

The management of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, says the video of students clad in white and half naked that went viral was not ritual activities as being rumoured.

The Registrar of the polytechnic, Modupe Fawale, made this known via a statement issued on Saturday, June 10, 2023.

Fawale stated that the viral video was the performance of students from the Art and Design Department during their 2023 departmental week on campus.

She said: ”The scene on the video is to educate, orientate and discourage the minds of the youth, especially students, not to engage in money ritual and other social vices.

“Not that the act was real within the campus as it has been rumoured.”

The polytechnic Registrar, however, said the management of the institution had called the attention of all students’ associations to the need to register and ensure that their activities are approved by the students affairs who have the mandate to monitor the kind of programmes to be embarked on.

“The students union should also through their platforms sensitize students’ associations and clubs to project the good image of the institution,” Fawale added.
