How could the appeal for increased subvention affect Dapo Abiodun?
Dapo Abiodun's administration faces pressure over state education funding The Rector of Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic appealed to the Ogun State Government for an upward review of the institution’s monthly subvention, arguing that the allocation has remained substantially at its earlier level despite rising operational costs. The appeal also requested equitable access to Tertiary Education Trust Fund interventions, noting the polytechnic has not accessed the fund since 2020. As the Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun’s administration is responsible for the state budget and the allocation of these subventions, meaning the request requires a specific budgetary decision from the state government.

Why it matters
The appeal highlights a structural funding issue within Ogun State's tertiary education sector. The polytechnic argues that the lack of equitable access to federal funds and the stagnation of state subvention are negatively impacting its rapid development, despite its growth from 300 students to over 7,000.
This situation is part of a broader concern regarding resource distribution among state-owned tertiary institutions. The Rector suggested a rotational arrangement for TETFund support among state institutions to ensure fair and sustainable addressing of critical needs.
