The registrar, however, advised parents and guardians to take time to monitor the activities of their wards in Ibadan Polytechnic, adding that the institution would not hesitate in taking drastic actions against any student whose conduct would tarnish the image of the school.

Fawale also urged students of the polytechnic to be law-abiding and give information on suspected illegal activities of both students and non-students that they were aware of.

She noted that the institution would be working together with law enforcement agencies to prevent crimes on the campus, saying this would also protect the law-abiding students, staff, and the entire polytechnic community.
