Upgrading of RUGIPO to a Versity is Not a Trend of Time -By Collins Akinujomu – Opinion Nigeria

To make matters worse, the recent move by the Oluwarotimi Akeredolu administration to upgrade the only state-owned polytechnic, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic (RUGIPO), in Owo, his hometown, to Ondo State University (OSUA), has met with public dissatisfaction and criticism. Owo is currently home to Achievers University and the polytechnic. The decision of the Akeredolu administration is a clear repetition of the habits of previous governors, who have resulted in creating universities in the name of the state government, so to speak, to acquire prestige among their kingsmen.
