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.
