The Osun State government has urged parents, students and other stakeholders of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) to plead with the institution’s joint unions to stop frustrating steps by owner-governments to get it back on track.
The government said it was uncomfortable with the prolonged strike that has kept Nigeria’s future leaders at home for months. In a statement yesterday in Osogbo, the state acpital, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Adelani Baderinwa, expressed shock over the suit filed by LAUTECH’s joint unions to stop the auditing of the university’s accounts, as recommended by the visitation panel set up to investigate and resolve the crisis that has crippled the institution.
According to him, the state government found it shocking and counter-productive the suit filed by the unions at the Oyo State High Court. Baderinwa said the auditing of the LAUTECH’s Ogbomoso accounts was recommended by the Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) visitation panel, adding that the owner-states appointed a reputable accounting firm, KPMG, to do the job.
The commissioner said the LAUTECH unions, besides chasing out the KPMG workers from the university, have allegedly persistently been working against the recommendation of the Olanipekun panel, except where the owner-states are asked to raise funds.
