“The school is virtually empty without those courses.
“The community that benefits from students rentage are the worse hit in the whole thing as the houses built for students are now empty.
“We are appealing to the state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to come to our aid as we know such removal was done without his consent.
“We know he is a listening person that is why we are making our demand public to reach him for his action,” he said.
