The management of The Polytechnic, Ibadan has on Monday 11th April 2022 adopted stop-and-search at all the entrances of the institution and also mandated all students to get their Identity Cards as criteria for entering the school which so far has helped maintain a safe learning environment.

As the school environment tries to gain tranquillity, through the security measures put in place by the management; some students and ex-students have however been victims of circumstance. Some of the students have been denied entry into the school premises due to their inability to present their ID cards or any means of identification.

Most of the affected students have blamed their departmental Executives for their lack of ID cards while some of them claim to have forgotten them at home.
