Following the dissolution of ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) by the National University Commission, the Osun State Government on Saturday assured job security saying, “indigenes of Oyo and Osun State working in either of the two entities will retain all their rights and obligations stipulated in their letters of engagement.”

A statement by the Osun State Information and Civic Orientation Commissioner, Mrs. Funke Egbemonde on Saturday which was made available to newsmen also disclosed that “Osun Students will not be subjected to fees or admission differentials. They will pay the same tuition fees as their Oyo counterparts.”

She said, “Government of Osun wishes to assure its citizens that the dissolution of its joint ownership of LAUTECH, following new terms of management spelled out by the National University Commission (NUC), is in no way skewed against the state.
