The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) of the Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology, has insisted that its members would
not return to work, unless their demands from Oyo and Osun State
Governments are met.
This was disclosed by the Chairman of ASUU, LAUTECH, Dr Abiodun Olaniran, while speaking in Ibadan yesterday.
“Issue of ultimate survival of the institution as a proper university
in the comity of other universities elsewhere” was never negotiable.
“While ASUU is eager to put this ugly situation in LAUTECH behind us,
we are interested in a honest and holistic address of the issues that
forced us to proceed on the current strike.
“It is gratifying that even the visitation panel set up by the owner
states clearly called attention to this problem,” Olaniran said.
In response to the call by Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, he
added: “For the Governor to be calling on the striking staff who have
been reduced to paupers due to months of unpaid salaries is the peak of
insensitivity to the plight of the workers.”
LAUTECH has almost lost a session as a result of the strike.
