Again asuu decries neglect of lautech by oyo and osun state government
It seems like the issue of neglect of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) by the Oyo and Osun State governments is still ongoing. Here's a summary of the latest development:
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has again lamented the neglect of LAUTECH by the Oyo and Osun State governments. In a statement, ASUU accused the governments of abandoning the institution, which has led to a decline in its infrastructure, academic standards, and overall performance.
The union claimed that despite the institution's significant contributions to the development of the two states, the governments have failed to provide adequate funding, leading to a shortage of facilities, equipment, and staff. ASUU also alleged that the governments have not taken concrete steps to address the issues, despite repeated appeals and protests by the union and other stakeholders.
The union's statement comes as a response to the recent visit of the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, to the institution, during which he promised to address the issues. However, ASUU expressed skepticism about the governor's commitment to resolving the problems, citing a lack of concrete actions and a history of broken promises.
ASUU is demanding that the governments take immediate action to address the issues, including the payment of outstanding salaries and allowances, the provision of adequate funding, and the implementation of the 2013 agreement between the union and the government. The union has also threatened to take further action if its demands are not met.
The neglect of LAUTECH by the Oyo and Osun State governments has been a long-standing issue, with the institution facing numerous challenges, including a lack of infrastructure, inadequate funding, and a shortage of staff. The situation has led to a decline in the institution's academic standards and overall performance, which has had a negative impact on the students and the community.
It is hoped that the governments will take concrete steps to address the issues and restore the institution to its former glory.
