omololu olunloyo Polytechnic Ibadan why?

I see that many know nothing about how the Polytechnic came about. 

Victor Olunloyo was the first Rector. 

But that is only a tiny part of the story. There were no funds back in 1970 to sustain the project, Nigeria just coming out of an expensive Civil War. 

It was so bad that much of the Capital Projects were done by Direct Labour.. The North - South Campus Road construction was done by an Engineer who personally drove the Tractors himself. 

Sorry he was not a Contractor, His name was Victor Omololu Olunloyo, the Rector. But that was not all. 

For political reasons he was removed by the Government. 

He collected the balance of his 4-year pay and moved on. 

Kwara State, a newly created State needed someone to help start Kwara Poly. Their choice? Victor Omololu Olunloyo. 

He went on to become also, first Rector Kwara Polytechnic. 

The students of Ibadan Polytechnic went crazy. The whole City was paralysed by their riots for weeks. 

The Student Union President was Olusola Agbeja Obada who later became Deputy Governor Osun State. 

She was declared wanted but managed to escape abroad where she lived for many years. 

Ask yourself after reading this if it was wrong to name the School after him. That is the History the Governor knows which you didn't know. 

Now you know.
