The Management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Oyo State, has denied the rumour about the passing of a vote of no confidence on the management and Governing Council of the institution.
A statement by the university’s registrar and Secretary to the Governing Council, Dr. Kayode Ogunleye, wondered why anybody could have alleged that the institution is going through crisis barely five days after the university concluded its “successful weeklong convocation ceremony, where all staff cooperated and participated”.
He maintained that there was no reason for the institution to be experiencing any crisis at a period it was determined to do greater exploits, adding that the management has resolved to continue to prioritise staff welfares.
According to him, “there could not have been any crisis in a university just coming out of precarious situation where its staff were being owed eight months’ arrears of salaries, which have just been cleared, where there is now regular payment of salaries, even while staff are on strike and where there is now regular promotion of staff, even in the face of dwindling resources.
Ogunleye, however, said that the council is not relenting on payments of any other allowances that may be due to staff.
