Gov. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara has directed authorities of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, to allow all students write their examinations, whether or not they have paid their tuition fees.
This is contained in a statement issued by Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Ibrahim Suleiman, on Monday in Ilorin.

”He, however, appealed to the affected students to reciprocate this goodwill by ensuring prompt payment of their fees, which are critical to effective running of the institution.
”The governor wishes all the students superlative performances in their studies and reassures all stakeholders of government’s continuous support for the polytechnic community and other educational institutions in the state,” the statement said. (NAN)
