Hundreds of commuters plying the ever busy Sango-Eleyele Road in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, are currently stranded, DAILY POST reports.
Our correspondent reports that the commuters are stranded as a result of protest embarked upon by students of the Polytechnic Ibadan.
DAILY POST gathered that the students embarked upon the protest as a result of the recent announcement made by Governor Seyi Makinde of the state to rename the institution.
Makinde has few days ago announced his plans to rename The Polytechnic Ibadan to Omololu Olunloyo Polytechnic, Ibadan.
Olunloyo was the first Ibadan person to serve as the governor of old Oyo State.
He served between October and December 1983.

This made many commuters, residents and travellers plying the road to be stranded.
DAILY POST gathered that some staff of the institution are also stranded as the majority of them were unable to gain access to the institution.
