LAUTECH Academic Staff Begin Indefinite Strike

Academic staff at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, began an indefinite strike at midnight on Thursday. The union is protesting the non-implementation of its 2025 agreement with the federal government and the non-payment of outstanding entitlements. In a statement signed by chairman Professor Olujimi Dada and secretary Dr Soji Arinola, the union said the decision was reached at an emergency congress on Wednesday. Members have been directed to suspend lectures, examinations, statutory meetings, laboratory work and other interactions with students.
