The embattled Ladoke Akintola University of Technology,
Ogbomoso, is set resume activities at the university on
Friday, September 15, 2017.
According to a statement signed by the registrar of the
university, Jacob Agboola urged the students to return to
their campuses for the commencement of academic
activities on Monday, September 18.
The statement read, “The Governing Council of Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, has
approved resumption of activities on the institution’s
campuses with effect from Friday, September 15, 2017.
“Students of the university are expected to return to
school on Monday, September 25, 2017, while full
academic activities, the details of which the senate will
announce, shall commence immediately after the
Independence anniversary holiday.
“Council thanked the governors of Oyo and Osun states,
Senator Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi and Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji
Aregbesola respectively, for agreeing to support the
university with necessary funds to enable the university to
return to its normal work schedule and reinvigorate its
latent capacities for accelerated and sustainable growth
and development.
“Council further appealed to students, staff, parents as
well as the general public to demonstrate greater faith
and dedication to the well-being of the institution, as
better days lie ahead of it.
It will be recalled that the university has been embroiled
in crisis, while various workers’ unions had embarked on
indefinite strikes to press home demands for payment of
about 10-month salary arrears
