The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has
called on the governments of Oyo and Osun States to declare state of
emergency on the Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomoso. The Ibadan Zonal
Coordinator of ASUU, Dr Ade Adejumo and Chairman of the LAUTECH chapter
of the Union, Dr Biodun Olaniran who stated this while speaking with
newsmen on Wednesday noted that it was not enough to make LAUTECH a
campaign issue and not attend to the problems bedeviling the state
institution after the polls. Eyes Of Lagos gathered that, The duo
appealed to the outgoing government not to politicise raising subvention
to 100 per cent but also pay all outstanding debts owed tertiary
institutions before leaving office.
Adejumo and Olaniran lamented that
while Ajimobi was busy awarding contracts few days to leaving office he
had not cleared 10 months salaries being owed staff of the institution.
They lamented that LAUTECH do not have condition of service for her
workers. The ASUU leaders therefore called on the incoming governor of
Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde and Governor of Osun State Gboyega to
inject funds into the jointly run institution to avoid crisis. “It is
not too much for Oyo and Osun governments to declare state of emergency
on LAUTECH.
It is not enough to make it a campaign issue during the
elections in both states. “If Ajimobi wants to raise subvention to
tertiary institutions, he knows how much he is owing these institutions.
He should go and settle the debt he owes the schools since he is busy
awarding contracts left, right and center. We are being owed 10 months
salary and most of our demands are not met yet. “Imagine LAUTECH does
not have what he can claim as a condition of service for workers”, they
said.
