The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), LAUTECH, Ogbomoso chapter, Tuesday berated the Oyo and Osun States government for abdicating their responsibilities resulting in workers being owed 13 months salaries.
The union in a statement made available to New Telegraph in Ibadan, demanded regular payment of salary from monthly governmental subventions and not from the internally generated revenue which is supposed to be used for other welfare and development projects.
Rising from an emergency meeting held on the Campus, ASUU Chairman of Ladoke Akintola University, Dr Oyebamiji Oyeleke, stated that the “two owner states jointly owe the university workers
13-month salaries forcing the university to keep the system running via financial interventions”.
While lamenting that there has been no visible projects on the campus in the last five years, Dr Oyebamiji said the projects
visible on the campus are products of ASUU struggles and TETFUND interventions.
Warning of imminent industrial disharmony between the workers and the governments of the two owner-states, ASUU wondered whether Governors Abiola Ajimobi and Rauf Aregbesola forgot their promise to “spend the necessary monies on LAUTECH to turn it into a model university among its peers”.
According to ASUU, the Oyo and Osun governments have abdicated their responsibilities of providing funding as expected for the university whether capital or recurrent.
While frowning at the two governors, ASUU called for a sustained response towards capital projects in the university while asking for definite payment of owed salaries, as well as the approval of payment of Academic Earned Allowances to the deserving workers.
