The long tussle between Oyo and Osun State may seem to have been over on the ownership of Ladoke Akintola University (LAUTECH) after a joint meeting.
The state governors of Osun and Oyo states, Adegboyega Oyetola and Seyi Makinde jointly agreed to cancel the joint ownership of LAUTECH and Ladoke Akintola College of Health.
Henceforth,LAUTECH’s ownership has been transferred to the government of Oyo State while the College of Health’s ownership has been transferred to the government of Osun State.
The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, Abubakar Rasheed disclosed this in a press briefing in Abuja on Friday.
“It is gratifying to note that after extensive deliberations, negotiations and consultations, both owner states mutually agreed terms and the joint ownership of LAUTECH was formally dissolved,” he said.
