Students of striking Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho, Oyo State held protest in Ibadan today to challenge Oyo State Government on the seven month old industrial action embarked on by the university workers. Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho had shut down academic activities since June, 2016 following several months of unpaid allowances. Ladoke Akintola University of Technology is jointly owned by Osun state and Oyo State. The protest was well attended by students from various universities in the country. Oyo State Governor, Isiaka Ajumobi, held a peaceful meeting with the leaders of the protesting students where he assured them of quick action to restore academic activities back on the campus.Governor Ajumobi promised the students that the institution would be opened before February, 2017. The two owners of the institution, Osun and Oyo state governments, have agreed to commit #200 million each to settle the owed allowance. The two governors, therefore, promised to reopen the school on or before February 1st, 2017. ExtraNewsNow further gathered that after the meeting, the Governor gave the students leader an entertainment allowance of about #500,000 which later caused disagreement between the student leaders.The disagreement was related to a diverse sharing formula by the participating students which caused the student to engaged one another in free- for-all at the front of the Office of the Governor. Meanwhile, some students of the institution have condemned the activity of the state governor of Oyo State for given out such huge sum of money while he is unable to pay his state workers' salaries. However, Mr Bolaji Azeez, Special Assistant to Governor Ajumobi on Youth and Students Affairs defended his boss saying the action was to display the 'Fatherly' gesture of the governor which he said portray Governor Ajumobi's as a 'caring father'.
