Governor of Oyo state, H. E. Seyi Makinde has announced a 25 percent reduction in tuition fees to be paid by students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH). He disclosed this at a visit to the institution in Ogbomosho stating that the reduction would cut across all students irrespective of their statuses. He said, I am glad to be back among you. After the 2019 election, I should have returned to say thank you to you but I didn’t want to come until I fulfill what I promised you, which is the sole ownership of LAUTECH by Oyo State. “I am still coming back to spend the night here and we will really celebrate then but I can leave you with a parting gift for today. Let me tell you, the LAUTECH fee is still the lowest in the entire South-West. Having said that, I will reduce your fee across board; whether indigenes or non-indigenes, even new students. There will be a reduction of 25 per cent across board.” Governor Makinde stated that he has fulfilled his promise of fixing the Under-Stadium road with street light so as to prevent students from being killed on the main road, adding that the securing of the sole ownership of the University means never again will a four year programme turn into an eight year programme in LAUTECH. While speaking at the commissioning of the High Dependency Unit of LAUTECH teaching hospital, he said that his administration would construct a befitting flyover in Ogbomosho. In addition, the governor assured the re-engaged 170 staff of the teaching hospital who were relieved of their employment by the previous administration that the current government will pay their five months salary arrears.
