BREAKING: Lautech ASUU, NASU Shut School Gates To Protest Non-payment Of Salaries By Osun Govt

The Academic and Non-academic Staff Unions of University, ‘ASUU’ ‘NASU’ Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso currently protesting over non payment of their salaries by the owner states – Osun and Oyo.

Few minutes ago, members of the institution’s chapter of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities and Educational Institutions, NASU, have locked all major gates leading to the institution, preventing vehicular movement into and out of the campus.

Lautech has been embroiled in crisis over payment of salaries by owner states of Oyo and Osun for years and the latest being the exchange of words between Governor Seyi Makinde and Osun state government.

It is understood that the ongoing protest does not affect the examination going on in the institution as only the main gate was locked while all pedestrian routes were open for students and staff involved in the examination.

A lecturer who spoke with our correspondent on the development said that examination has been on for four weeks now, “it will end by next Tuesday or so. But the blockage doesn’t stop examinations. Students are allowed to use pedestrian gate to access the campus for exams.”
