Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde has directed the Vice-Chancellor of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Ogbomoso (LAUTECH), Prof Michael Ologunde, to step aside from his position.
This was contained in a letter dated April 16, 2021, by the Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, Olasunkanmi Olaleye.
“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, Prof. M. O. Ologunde should step aside until further notice,” the letter reads.
“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.”
Recall the university was recently ceded to Oyo, following an agreement reached between Oyo and Osun states.
