Leke Baiyewu, Abuja

The Senate has said the Federal Government cannot disburse the N4bn currently needed by the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology,
Ogbomoso, as the institution is state-owned.

At the plenary on Wednesday, the lawmakers stated that Oyo and Osun States, who jointly own the institution, should resolve the crisis
bedeviling the school.

They pointed out that the Federal Government could only invest in capital projects in the institution and not spend on payment of salaries and allowances of workers.

The position was taken when lawmaker representing Oyo North Senatorial District, Senator Abdulfatai Buhari, in a motion titled ‘Urgent Need for the Federal Government to Intervene in LAUTECH Imbroglio in Order to Save the Future of the Innocent Youths,’ said the institution needed N4bn to pay accumulated salaries and allowances arrears.

He said, “The Senate is disturbed that LAUTECH, which hitherto had the reputation of being the best state-owned university in the country,
now has nothing to her credit than the reputation of being the most strike-ridden university in the country, as the university cannot
escape an academic year without going on strike for 10 months or more due to persistent non-payment of salaries of the members of staff;

“The Senate is worried by the fact that the university is currently in the middle of a strike, which has crippled the activities of the
university for more than a year due to the inability of the parent states to provide the sum of N4bn to pay the accumulated salaries and
arrears of members of staff and, thereby, leaving over 3000 members of staff of the University wallowing in economic hardship and poverty.

“It is saddening that the careers of over 34,000 students of the University are currently in jeopardy, turning them to social
miscreants and leaving the parents who had laboured to give their wards quality education languishing in pains and agonies for no fault
of theirs.”

It's sad to see this happen but everyone in LAUTECH has lost for now.

If police stop you now, them go ask which university you dey go. If you mistakenly say lautech my friend you go pay money o, even if you no be yahoo yahoo.

Well my advice would be for Senate to at least convert their share of Tetfund to pay at least half of the debts. Lautech is entitled to 1.9 billion for this year from Tetfund. It's only a university that exist that can use infrastructure.

This is no mere strike the very existence of this university is threatened and I don't think Osun has d capacity to pay anything to anyone.

Tinubu sef no try o just one fund raising and he can gather industry men and fellow politicians to raise a lot of cash. Me I would suggest u ppl change ur chancellor to Oyakhilome. At least I remember he gave benson idahosa university 1 billion grant just like that. If he is now chancellor of lautech nko he would just pay it all in one sec.

Or if everything fails they should mandate the school to give out transcripts.

but they can use billions as money for cars and expenditures issorite

With all the free oil money, they can't pay salries or run a school.
Imagine when the free oil money no longer comes in.
This is why Yorubas are not serious.about restructuring.

Must u turn everything to racism. This is really not about funding but that lautech is an Orphan institution by virtue of ownership tussle- that is d underlying issue. At least we all know uniosun isn't dead.

i wept for NIGERIAN education,



i know the federal government has the capability to release such amount, but they won't, let's say they said they can't pay, but can't they just order the state governments to pay, at least the states are under the federal govt, and they have the right to obey what they said,



May God punish all our politicia especially Aregbe, Ajimobi and Tinubu

wow.... the best news today....

bin in 400lvl since 2015. May God help me

y would FG pay for there burden....is not correct



they should carry there cross alone

Lauthech don enter one chance, osun allocation cant pay quarter salary of lautech and oyo too say they cant pay, who go com pay. Wahala they o

The likes of Ajumobi and Aregbesola are not visioning leaders when it comes to education or the pride of state.. in fact Ajumobi can be regarded as a state chief marunder ..Who walked on toganism.a head of constituted Authority who failed woefully to her responsibility. Tomorrow is close to his chest, the history recorded him as a pathetic leader.

Education is not encouraged in this part of the world

University funding in Nigeria is very poor.

Right now, we need 3 trillion naira for all our universities to break even without having to increase fees

Most universities also charge poor fees. You can't get enough funding on just $100 per semester.

Lobatan

FG should just take over that school. Ajimobi and Aregbesola aren't serious with that school. Awon Oloriburuku, had it been their wards were in that school, they won't do that.
