“We are all happy and impressed that lectures are actually taking place in all the places we visited.

“As a union, we cannot ask for more, we only want to appeal to those of our lecturers who are still not cooperating to join hands with their colleagues to salvage LAUTECH.

“The number of students who have resumed is also very encouraging and we thank stakeholders for this New Year gift that is most appreciated,” Oluwaseun said.

According to him, it is the news that we have always waited for, our joy as parents know no bound.

“We are pleading with the governors of Oyo and Osun states to help ensure that workers are paid as and when due, so that we can hope for an uninterrupted academic sessions.”

Olaniyan expressed the readiness of his committee to continue to meet with other stakeholders towards finding a lasting solution to the various problems threatening the survival of the university.

He appealed to the leadership of ASUU, especially in LAUTECH to seek peaceful resolution to the crisis.

“Our appeal is for our leaders in the association to consider other means while lecture continues,” Ige said.
