The Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Oluseyi Makinde has announced that lecturers at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, will be denied subvention if they fail to return to work despite the state government’s demand to resume academic activities at the university.
On Saturday, the governor made the news during a media engagement at the BCOS Television house in Ibadan to commemorate his third year in office.
The governor said that if the lecturers do not return to work, the state government will not pay their subvention.
He said, “If the lecturers were sensitive, they should not have joined the industrial action. As of today, their subvention is being withhold. If they don’t go back to school, I won’t pay their subvention.
“The students must know who to hold accountable. We expect 100 per cent cooperation but some want to play politics.
“We will only pay those who return to their duties. I don’t care whether it’s an election year. I will only do what is right till the last day of the tenure.”
