The Rauf Aregbesola led Osun State government, who co-owns Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, has called on members of the public to beg the management and staff of the institution to be open and sincere towards ending the lingering crisis rocking the university.
The Osun state government Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Adelani Baderinwa yesterday in a statement said it is concerned about the plight of students of the institution; hence the need to alert the public on what is going on in LAUTECH.
According to Boderinwa, the state government was worried and doing everything possible to resolve the crisis and ensure a quick resumption, notwithstanding the selfish politics being played by some people, management union and staff of the institution.
According to Osun state government, some elements within the Institution were not sincere on resolving the matter, the government alleged that such people are grandstanding and deliberately stifling efforts to pull the institution out of the crisis.
Inside Sources gathered that both Oyo and Osun state governments were said to have set up a visitation panel led by Chief Wole Olanipekun which recommended auditing of the university to ensure a lasting solution to the crisis.
The state governments based on the Chief Wole Olanipekun panel recommendations engaged the service of KPMG to audit the university accounts, but internal enemies in the institution are frustrating the auditing exercise.
Baderinwa maintained that despite the efforts of Governor Rauf Aregbesola and Abiola Ajimobi of Osun and Oyo states to bring lasting solution to the institution crisis, some members of staff and management are sabotaging their efforts.
