Oyoaffairs had earlier reported that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Ladoke Akintola University chapter said the union would not withdraw from the ongoing strike action embarked on by the Union.
This came after calls by the Students Union Government that the union should withdraw like some other state universities.
The Coordinator, Ibadan chapter of the Union, Professor Oyebamiji Oyegoke, stated that the current infrastructure face-lift which LAUTECH enjoys and TETFUND grants which its staff want, are products of ASUU struggles without which the Institution will not be able to have a semblance of a University.
He noted that “that LAUTECH branch of ASUU is actively involved in the current twelve weeks roll-over strike alongside our national body is to draw the attention of Federal Government of Nigeria on the need to implement the Renegotiated Agreement which FGN signed with ASUU in 2009. Other pertinent issues included in the agreement include Improved salary/working conditions for members; stoppage of the proliferation of State and Private Universities; unacceptable use of IPPIS as a salary payment platform; adoption of UTAS as a good salary payment platform; funding for Revitalization of Public Universities; to mention a few.”
Meanwhile, Students of the institution have taken to the social media to wish themselves a happy resumption and thank Gov. Makinde for the prompt intervention.
