The six-month-old strike by the union at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has been called off by management.

The university made this announcement today, August 16, in a circular that was signed by the university’s registrar, Dr. Kayode Ogunleye, and was titled “Release to Staff and Students: Continuation of the First Semester of the 2021/2022 Academic Session.” The institution also revealed the day that the academic year 2021–2022, which will begin on Thursday, August 18, will officially get underway.

The statement partly reads:

“Upon the directive of the Visitor to the university, the management, hereby, informs all staff and students that the university will continue its academic activities for the first semester of the 2021/2022 academic session on Thursday, August 18, 2022”.

While urging staff and students to abide by the directive, the statement further assured them that the amended academic calendar for the semester will soon be made available.

“On behalf of the Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. M. 0. Liasu, I welcome all students back to the campus and wish them a crisis-free semester”, the statement added.

The management of the institution had earlier announced May 26, 2022, as the official resumption of academic activities some weeks ago. However, members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU in the school which had been on strike for the past six months, refused to resume academic activities despite the school management’s order.
