The students complained that were being deprive by lecturer from receiving tests because of school fees payment, the addition of N10, 000 as late payment for school fees by the polytechnic management, the imposing of N10, 000 for late submission of student file, N500 for late signing of student files, the N5, 500 Jamb Regularisation payment earlier made by student, the delay in sales textbooks and the Community Development Center/ Entrepreneur Development  (CDC/EED) payment.

In response, the rector promised to give the students more time and assure them of taking tests without deprivation from their lecturers. She also stated that the imposing of N10, 000 for late submission of student file is for the 2015/2016 graduating students.
