The Oyo State House of Assembly has summoned
the state Ministry of Justice and its education
counterpart to appear on September 27 over
ownership status of Ladoke Akintola University of
Technology, Ogbomoso.
The summon followed a motion by Mrs Olawunmi
Oladeji (Ogbomoso North/LP) and co-sponsored
by nine other lawmakers at the plenary session on
Thursday.
The motion was entitled: “Reviewing the Joint
Ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of
Technology: A Step toward Sole Ownership by Oyo
State Government.”
Oladeji said the move would address the critical
issues and crisis bedevilling the institution after
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, co-owner,
failed to fulfil his state’s financial responsibility to
the institution.
She said, “Osun State Government has defaulted,
particularly in the payment of salaries of the
institution’s members of staff for about 15
months.
“This has made it difficult for the smooth-running
of LAUTECH.”
She said that such action has threatened the joint
ownership of the institution.
She said, “The Internally Generated Revenue of the
institution, which is meant for the payment of
gratuity, pension of retirees, as well as other
developmental projects within the university, has
been depleted.
“This is due to the fact that the money is being
used for the payment of workers’ salaries.
“This calls for the total hand-off of Osun
Government from running of the university, and
allows the Oyo State Government to take charge of
sole and full ownership.”
In his contribution, Adesina (Ibadan South-East I/
Accord), said that there was need to resolve the
issue of joint ownership of LAUTECH since Osun
has established its university and no longer ready
to fund LAUTECH.
The Chairman, House Committee on
Parliamentary Matters, Mr Olusegun Ajanaku
(Ibadan South-West II/APC), said that the issue of
LAUTECH was a national matter.
He said it was an issue that requires more work
between the two parties involved.
The lawmaker urged people of Ogbomoso to be
patient and allow amicable resolution of the issue
between the two parties.
The cosponsors include, the Deputy Speaker, Mr
Musah Abdulwasi (Saki West/APC); the majority
leader, Mr Kehinde Subair (Ibadan South-West I/
APC); Mr Peter Oyetunji (Surulere/Ogo-Oluwa/LP);
Mr Akeem Oladipo (Ibadan North West/APC) and
Mr Jimoh Akintunde (Ibarapa North & Central/
APC).
Other are, Mr Afeez Adeleke (Iseyin/Itesiwaju/
APC), Mr Fatai Adesina, Ibadan South East I/
Accord) and Mr Lukman Balogun (Oorelope/LP).

They should just sell the school give dangote or hand it over to the federal government jor their nonsense is becoming too much

Oyo state Government That Is owing civil servants about 4 months salary with lot of and lot of Abandoned road projects scattered everywhere. Its highly Lugubrious and laughable That the Same Government Is talking about Sole ownership of Lautech.

BE LIKE SAY NA AFONJA STATES NA SUFFER DIS BUHARICONOMY PASS OO.From stomach infrastructure for ekiti, to Osun wen don turn IDPs for dier own state..Afonjas and hunger are like.....Make i go find zuma picture

Since June 13..that ogbeni is seriously nuts

I was here!!!

At last. Anyway, best of luck.

i see.

Ogbeni rauf adesoji aregbesola. Doing what he is good at.

Joint ownership? Oyo state fall my hand sha. So it was joint ownership

There can't be two Federal universities in a State.
I think it is a nice move

lmao... Every single strike was a hit back to back. from june till date...

Oyo assembly ti take over

Fu!ck them osun

See what osun assembly are plan as well. This will be interesting...

Oh! My dear Lautech

Actually, the ownership of Lautech has always been an unequal yoke

Good move.

Its better osun hands off Lautech so Oyo state can own it 100%....that's d problem of a joint venture

Shame on oyo and osun...two states that find it hard to run one institution.
Osun owing 14months salary.
Oyo owing 8months salary.
Funniest part oyo once helped osun to pay 4months salary
IMO oyo should take over the school 100%. Infant oyo should takeover osun 100%..mtchew

9ja education is fast crumbling. Oluwa ti take over oh!

Lautech with best lecturers but poor school government. What a gr8 wit shaken foundation

well it is a good thing for the indegent if oyo state. THIS is one of the reason why the polytechnic, ibadan is crowded.. ND,DPP,PT,FT.

if this comes out well, it will be a sucess

This is a welcoming idea and it will go a long way to relieve lautech of her semesterly crisis if properly looked into by the two states and settle it amicably by releasing it to one state. The dual ownership crisis has nearly collapse lautech to a bottom list uni. in Nigeria. I am happy to hear this news.

how dem fall your hand?


Osun state was under Oyo state when the university was established.

Halleluyah

Ok...

I could remembered vividly 2011,during the regime of Gov Alao Akala, just like he knew that this kinda thing will surface later, he and the members of Oyo state house of assembly then called for this move but the people of Oyo state taught he was play politics on them not knowing that he was trying to save them from what is happening presently. Ogbeni Aregbe called him a mad man that he doesn't know what is doing...that Gov Akala he did it because they're in diff party... now that they're from the same party they find difficult to manage the institution... I pray make you succeed with your move and stop toying with the life of the students #save_lautech
