LAUTECH: Oyo Govt To Establish New Law, Captures Multi Campus

  





Due to the pronouncement of the National Universities Commission (NUC), of sole ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), by Oyo State Government, the state government has proposed the enactment of a new law that will be governing the institution forthwith.

This was revealed by the state’s Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Oyelowo Oyewo, while briefing the  correspondents after the state’s 33rd executive council meeting.

Professor Oyewo explained that the bill would be presented for implementation to the state’s House of Assembly, before Friday this week, stressing that the new bill would supersede all previous rules and laws of the university before the pronouncement of NUC.

“At the 33rd Exco council meeting, we from the ministry of Justice presented a bill, consequent upon the pronouncement of NUC bringing to an end the joint ownership of LAUTECH between Osun and Oyo and vesting the sole ownership of LAUTECH in Oyo State.”

“This made it necessary for us to have the existing law which is the LAUTECH Law of 2020. We chose the other route of having the coexisting laws repealed and bringing in a new law to establish the LAUTECH University with sole ownership vested in Oyo State and to also discontinue the practices and rules that apply to LAUTECH in the joint ownership with Osun State.”

“We also made some consequential amendments to the composition of the council and more importantly empower the university to be a multi campus institution with campuses established in Oyo State as the need arises. The law will now be known as the LAUTECH law of 2020.”

In a related development, state’s Commissioner for Education, Barrister Olasunkanmi Olaleye, stated that a total of N446 million was approved for the production of notebooks for students of public secondary schools in the state for usage in January next year.

Similarly, a sum of N658 million was approved for the production of 25,750 pair of students’ furniture for public secondary schools in Oyo state.

The education commissioner also hinted that N169 million was approved for the procurement of science equipment and materials for public secondary schools in Oyo State, while he also said a total of N64 million was approved by the governor for the completion of abandoned millennia secondary schools in Ogbomoso area of the state.

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...
