Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola has met with his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde on the way forward for Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso.
The institution, jointly owned by Oyo and Osun States has been enmeshed in crisis over inadequate funding.
According to the governor who made this known on his Twitter page, the meeting which was brokered by the institution’s Governing Council Chairman, Professor Oladapo Afolabi, was held in Abuja on Wednesday.
At the meeting, the two governors agreed that a 10-man committee drawn from both states be set up to further analyse the issues and come up with various options that would finally lay the matter to rest.
