LAUTECH threatens to resume strike


Workers at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) under the umbrella of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) on Wednesday threatened the Oyo State government and its Osun state counterpart that it will resume its strike action in two weeks time, if the states refuse to fulfill it’s agreement with the union.

The Union in a statement jointly signed by its chairman Biodun Olaniran and the secretary, Toyin Abegunrin, said it was surprising that the governments refused to attend to their funding responsibilities of the University even after it has carried out auditing of both personnel and accounts.
LAUTECH, a higher institution jointly owned by the Osun and Oyo states government recently resumed from its eight month-old strike after the two states agreed to pay it’s outstanding debt to the purse of the institution.
