LAUTECH ASUU Calls for Implementation of 2025 Agreement

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, urged the state government on October 6 to fully implement the December 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement. In a statement signed by Chairperson Prof Olujimi Dada and Secretary Dr Soji Arinola, the union called for support from traditional institutions, religious bodies, alumni, students, parents, and civil society organizations.

They reported exhausting dialogue avenues with the state government regarding outstanding staff entitlements, including earned academic allowances and promotion arrears. The union emphasized that the agreement's financial implications had been communicated to the authorities and that the delay in implementation could disrupt academic activities.

They noted that the agreement had been processed and approved by the university’s Governing Council. The union expressed concern that public pressure was needed to prompt governmental attention to the matter and urged for immediate action to commence full implementation.
