Osun State Government has declared that Osun State University has taken over the College of Health Sciences and the former LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Osogbo.

It also approved the immediate renaming of the Teaching Hospital to UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital (UNIOSUNTH), Osogbo.

This followed the dissolution of the joint ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) by Oyo State and Osun State, after signing a Memorandum of Understanding to effect a new management structure of the institution.

Based on the terms of the MoU, the National Universities Commission (NUC) handed over ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, to the Oyo State Government while the Osun state Government took over the College of Health Sciences in Osogbo and the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital.

A statement signed by the Osun State Commissioner for Education, Folorunso Oladoyin, on behalf of the Osun LAUTECH Committee under the chairmanship of Professor Olu Aina, disclosed that the new UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital will compliment the main Teaching Hospital that is under construction, donated by Mr & Mrs Modupe and Folorunso Alakija. The statement read in part: “Sequel to the separation of joint ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Ogbomoso, between Oyo and Osun states, the Government of Osun State wishes to make known that Osun State University has been directed to take over the College of Health Sciences and the former LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Osogbo. This new development will compliment the MAIN Teaching Hospital that is under construction and donated by Mr & Mrs Modupe and Folorunso Alakija.
“The Osun State Government has approved the renaming of former LAUTECH Teaching Hospital as UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital (UNIOSUNTH), Osogbo with immediate effect.

“All Consultants and other staff of the College of Health Sciences as well as the Teaching Hospital in Osogbo are assured of job security under the new arrangement as nobody will suffer loss of job or income as a result of the separation of ownership.

“The government wishes to advise Staff and Students of Osun extraction in Ogbomoso campus of LAUTECH to please remain there as their interests have been well protected by the MoU signed by the two Governors and there is no reason for any staff to panic as their rights, privileges and duties will be dictated by the terms of their contract of employment.

“The government of the State of Osun has no reason to doubt the commitment and integrity of her counterpart in Oyo State as regards the faithful implementation of the MoU on job security and protection of students rights. Hence, there is no need for any panic induced mass transfer of workers of Osun extraction from Ogbomoso to Osun,” the statement read.

This is commendable and a good news for those who value the stability and wellbeing of the prestigious school.

This mutual agreement is better than those years of fighting between the two states.

It's is shame for the two former governor's who spend 8 years each under same party but utterly failed to reach an agreement on settling the ownership dispute.

It is shameful that both Aregbe and Lt. Ajimobi couldn't use their samenpolitical umbrella to move the school forward. Likewise, Oyinlola and Ladoja would have written their names in gold if they'd done this.

Tinubu was the chancellor of that school for almost 6 year but didn't visit the school to ascertain level of things, the battle even got worst under his chancellorship without any iota of intervention. But you will see him mobilising footsoldiers, money and media mercineries to campaign and snatch governorship, senate and HoR in SW states.

This shows that a man like him do not value education since there's no money to steal for him in Lautech or not national/state asset to hijack like the LASU property in Ketu. A truly patriotic leader will use his chancellorship to make sure students in that school do not suffer but he prefers defending incompetent Bihari to ameliorating the plight of innocent student with almost 3 years in strike.

'Eyin eniya, e ronu'

It took two governor under different political parties to achieve this priced peace.

Tinubu, just like any other Nigerian Polithiefcians, is only interested in power and what he will personally gain but not in what will benefit the poor masses. Greedy, wicked and selfish.
