DECLARE STATE OF EMERGENCY IN LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY, ACADEMIC STAFF TELLS OYO OSUN GOVERNMENTS

The Chairmen noted that it was not enough to make Ladoke Akintola University( LAUTECH) a campaign issue and not attend to the problems bedevelling the State institution after the polls, and asked the outgoing Government not to politicise raising subvention to 100% but also paid all outstanding debts owed the institution before leaving office.

Penpushing further reports that, Adejumo and Olaniran lamented that while Ajimobi was busy awarding contracts few days to end of his term; he has not cleared ten months salaries being owed staff of the institution.

The Chairmen also  lamented that the university does not have condition of service for its workers, and called on the incoming Governor of Oyo State Engr Seyi Makinde and Governor of Osun State Gboyega to inject funds into the jointly run institution to avoid relapse into crisis.

“It is not too much for Oyo and Osun Governments to declare State of Emergency on LAUTECH. it is not enough to make it a campaign issue during the elections in both States. If Ajimobi wants to raise subvention to tertiary institutions, he knows how much he is owing these institutions’.

‘He should go and settle the debt he owes the schools since he is busy awarding contracts left, right and center. We are being owed 10 months’ salary and most of our demands are not met yet. Imagine LAUTECH does not have what he can claim as a condition of service for workers”
