LAUTECH Students Appreciate Makinde For His Timely Intervention |Abiodun Oluwaseun Laurel|









By Abiodun Oluwaseun Laurel
Bí a bá ṣe’ni lóore, ọpẹ́ là ńdá – one ought to give thanks when favoured with kindness; and this is in no other reason than the kindness of our amiable Governor, the people’s man, our Godsent, His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde for sparing time out of his busy schedules to attend to the cries of students and staffs of our institution, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology,Ogbomoso.
This is not just a visit, it is a remarkable one and a date with destiny, a record making one, as it is the first of its kind that a sitting Governor physically appears in this institution after his election and was received by all and sundry.
As if it were not enough to just visit, the Governor out of his benevolence pledged the sum of #500,000,000 as a token to tidy all that is necessary for the school to resume pending the time he finds a lasting solution to the crisis rocking the institution.
This is goodwill, and it is worthy of applauds and commendation as we ought to celebrate every act of humanity to set as example for all.
To our surprise the next day, the Oyo State Government also increased its budgetary allocation for Education in 2020 to 20 percent. This shows the interest of the people’s Governor in education and the vision he has for all the students in the state we really appreciate that.
Added to the benefits bestowed upon us by this father of goodwill is the Scholarship scheme from which our students will be set to benefit from come 2020.
Ọpẹ́ olóore, àdáàdátán ni – The gratitude to one’s benefactor ought to know no end; and so we are promising to always make the Governor proud with our support and progressive cooperation, and also by living by standards worthy of support and law abiding.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. -John Fitzgerald Kennedy_
As the school is set to resume with staffs smiling again ahead of the festive period, we pray the good will and vision he has for the state will continue to materialize as we will continue to drum support for him day and night.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
