Lecturers of Ladoke Akintola University
of Technology have accused Osun State’s
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of hypocrisy
over his appeal to workers to reopen the
school for the sake of the students.
The school has been mostly shut since
last year over the failure of the two
owner states to fund its operations.
But on Monday, at a ceremony to receive
students of Osun State University who
returned from Ukraine after completing
their programme in Medicine, Mr.
Aregbesola appealed to LAUTECH workers
to go back to work.
Reacting to the appeal through a
statement on Tuesday, the lecturers
accused the governor of “playing the
ostrich” and insensitivity to the plight of
LAUTECH students.
In a statement signed by chairman of the
school’s branch of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities, Biodun Olaniran,
they said LAUTECH cannot resume
without the resolution of the issues that
led to the closure of the university.
They said the governor was being
insincere in expressing concern over the
plight of the students, alleging that he
had declined several requests by the
students to meet with him.
“At what point did he become the
champion of LAUTECH students that he
refused to see and address despite efforts
made by them to interact with him
personally over their plight?” the
lecturers said in the statement.
“The Ila episode where he sent the
students away like lepers is a graphic
point in case here. Therefore, the
governor of Osun State should stop
behaving like the ostrich which buries
its head in the sand, thinking that its
rump is hidden from view.”

The lecturers said they have been poorly paid since
December 2013 but remained at work despite this.
“May we also ask our Governor, who is asking for
sacrifice on the part of LAUTECH workers; what further
sacrifice does he demand from hapless workers who
have remained on their duty posts since December 2013
when salaries had been epileptic, principally due to his
total withholding of salary subvention to the University.
“He, through his insincerity to LAUTECH, has brought
the University to its knees.
“A yawning contradiction in the speech clearly exposes
Ogbeni’s hypocrisy. At a stage, he clearly stated that he
is financially incapacitated to fund LAUTECH, only for
him to end up talking about auditing as a pre-condition
for release of funds.”
The lecturers stopped work in protest against poor
funding of the university that had led to their salaries
not being paid.
LAUTECH chapter of ASUU has also joined in the
ongoing nationwide strike declared on Monday by the
national body of the union, thereby prolonging the
crisis of the university.
