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.
