The management of Federal Polytechnic Oko has reacted to the speculations making the rounds that a student was diagnosed of Corona virus at it's medical centre.

It was rumoured that a student who returned from travel was diagnosed of the virus in the early hours of Sunday.

Speaking through it's public relations officer, Mr Obini Onuchukwu, the management described the speculation as false and mischievous.

Onuchukwu said no such case was reported or heard in any part of the Polytechnic.

"This is the dangerous dimension social media has taken and it should be checked because it's more destructive.

" People just fabricate stories in order to run down the other. This is wrong and malicious," Onuchukwu said.

According to Onuchukwu the entire Polytechnic community is in very high spirit preparing for it's 19th combined convocation ceremony slated to commence from April 1 to April 4, 2020.

He further called on students and staff to go about their normal businesses stating that the rumour was the handi work of mischief makers and misleading.

''We are not unmindful of the Speedy spread and we are doing our best through our very competent medical services to protect our environment." He added.
