The management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has called off its unions’ six months old strike.
The institution also announced Thursday, August 18, 2022, as the date for the commencement of academic activities for the 2021/2022 academic session.
This was contained in a circular titled, “Release to Staff and Students: Continuation of the First Semester of the 2021/2022 Academic Session”, and signed by LAUTECH Registrar, Dr. Kayode Ogunleye.
“Upon the directive of the Visitor to the university, the management, hereby, informs all staff and students that the university will continue its academic activities for the first semester of the 2021/2022 academic session on Thursday, August 18, 2022,” Ogunleye stated.
While urging staff and students to abide by the directive, the LAUTECH Registrar assured staff and students of the university that the amended academic calendar for the semester would soon be made available.

“On behalf of the Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. M. 0. Liasu, I welcome all students back to the campus and wish them a crisis-free semester,” he added.
The management of the institution had earlier announced May 26, 2022, as the official resumption of academic activities.
But members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in the school which had been on strike for the past six months refused to resume academic activities despite the school management’s order.
LAUTECH like some other universities has been on strike in solidarity with the other ASUU members on issues bordering on the operation and funding of the public universities system.
LAUTECH which was a jointly owned university of Osun and Oyo states became an Oyo State university following talks between the two states to resolve the ownership status in 2020.
