LAUTECH Set To Resume Academic Activity

The management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Oyo State, has been reported to have called off its unions’ six months strike, with an assurance that the academic activities for the 2021/2022 academic session would soon commence.

A source that pleaded anonymity said the university is billed to announce and continue its academic activities for the first semester of the 2021/2022 academic session soon, most likely before the end of August 2022

The source also said that a meeting with Joint Action Committee (JAC), has been scheduled for today, Tuesday 16th, August 2022 while the security meeting will be held later in the week.

It was however gathered that all is set for the resumption of school activities.

However, when contacted, the Registrar of the university, Dr Kayode Ogunleye said: “Not yet, the process is on and resumption is in earnest”.

Management had earlier announced 26 May 2022 as the official resumption of academic activities some weeks ago.

The unions, ASUU and JAC, which had been on strike for the past six months, however, refused to resume academic activities despite the school management’s order.

In the meantime, there have been several efforts from the government to make the unions resolve all pending issues that may be stopping the resumption of academic activities, with the recent meeting the unions held with the Oyo State government last month.
