Kwara State Polytechnic Reopens After Student Protests

The Kwara State Government has approved the reopening of Kwara State Polytechnic, which had been closed for a week due to student protests. The decision was communicated through an internal memo obtained by the institution's public relations office, signed on behalf of the registrar.

The memo, dated February 26, 2026, indicates that academic activities will resume on March 2, 2026. The closure had disrupted academic operations across the campus, and the government's decision to reopen is expected to provide relief to both students and staff.

Members of the institution have expressed patience during the shutdown and are optimistic about completing the ongoing academic session without further disruptions.
