Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s Chief Press Secretary, Ismail Omipidan, tells BOLA BAMIGBOLA conditions Oyo State government must meet to solely own the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, which is jointly owned by the two-neighbouring statesof Osun Committee on LAUTECH, Prof Olu Aina, recently said Oyo State Government refused to negotiate with it further on the institution.
At the meeting, it was mutually agreed that we should set up a 10-man committee, five from each state, to look into the issue of joint ownership and proffer lasting solutions. The meeting was held on October 30, 2019. A week later, we inaugurated our own committee, led by our respected Professor Emeritus, Olu Aina. It took Oyo State about a month to inaugurate its own committee. So, it is true, we are still waiting for Oyo to come to the table.
Well, officials of the state, including the education commissioner, have made both implied and direct statements to indicate that. We have no quarrel over that. It is good to be ambitious. However, there are rules and conventions guiding the joint ownership. I speak for the State Governor of Osun, not that of Oyo. Let me, however, add that the institution too will be in a better position to address that adequately.Well, since we have set up our panel, I will not want to be seen as pre-empting the outcome.Oyo State Government should go and study the edict that established the school very well. It should study the Supreme Court judgement, too. Again, it should equally study the National University Commission panel’s report on the matter.
