All principal officers of The Oke-Ogun Polytechnic Polytechnic have been suspended by the school's governing council over purported financial misdeeds. Those suspended includes the rector of the polytechnic, Mr Matthew Oladeji.

The suspension which was served in a memo signed by the Chairman of the Governing Council, Prof Moshood Tijani and also sent to the state Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, reads:

“They have been queried in respect of series of allegations of fraudulent practices and gross misconduct”.
