Makinde Suspends LAUTECH VC Indefinitely
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has ordered the Vice-Chancellor of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Ogbomoso, Professor Michael Ologunde, to proceed on an indefinite suspension.
The governor’s order is contained in a letter issued on Friday by the state Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Olasunkanmi Olaleye.
The letter read: “His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde, the Governor of Oyo State and the Visitor to the Ladoke Akintola University, has directed that the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Professor M. O. Ologunde, should step aside until further notice.
“Consequently, the VC has also been directed to hand over forthwith to the next principal officer in rank in order to ensure uninterrupted flow of normal activities of the institution.”
While the letter didn’t state the reason for the decision, it may not be unconnected with an allegation that the vice chancellor have been instigating workers of the institution to agitate payment of outstanding salaries.
