Osun workers won’t be sacked over LAUTECH take-over – Makinde
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has assured workers of Osun State origin at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) that they have nothing to fear because they will not be sacked.
Recall that the National Universities Commission (NUC) on Friday resolved the ownership crisis of Ladoke Akintola University of Science and Technology (LAUTECH) in favour of Oyo.
The commission however ceded the College of Health Sciences located in Osogbo to Osun.
Following this, Makinde has assured workers of Osun State origin at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) that they have nothing to fear because they will not be sacked.
He gave the assurance while featuring on Ibadan-based Fresh 105.9 FM Saturday morning. He featured on Southwest Political Circuit, a political interactive programmme anchored by Isaac Brown.
Makinde also commended his Osun State counterpart Gboyega Oyetola for making the institution’s splitting possible.
He said the success would have been impossible without his cooperation.
He insisted that there was no winner in the development but the students who will now enjoy hitch-free sessions.
Makinde also pledged better funding of the university with a promise to return it to its old leading position in Africa.
