Osun State University takes over LAUTECH Teaching Hospital Osogbo

Osun State University has been directed to take over the College of Health Sciences and the former Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Osogbo.

This is sequel to the separation of joint ownership between Oyo State and the State of Osun on the ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology ( LAUTECH) Ogbomoso.

This new development will compliment the MAIN Teaching Hospital that is under construction and donated by Mr & Mrs Modupe and Folorunso Alakija.

A statement signed by Folorunso Oladoyin Bamisayemi for Osun Lautech Committee under the chairmanship of Prof Olu Aina notes that the State government has approved the renaming of former LAUTECH Teaching Hospital as UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital (UNIOSUNTH), Osogbo with immediate effect.

The statement reads in parts “All Consultants and other staff of the College of Health Sciences as well as the Teaching Hospital in Osogbo are assured of job security under the new arrangement as nobody will suffer loss of job or income as a result of the separation of ownership”.

“The Government wishes to advise Staff and Students of Osun extraction in Ogbomoso campus of LAUTECH to please remain there in Ogbomoso as their interests have been well protected by the MoU signed by the two Governors and there is no reason for any staff to panic as their rights, privileges and duties will be dictated by the terms of their contract of employment.

“Government of the State of Osun has no reason to doubt the commitment and integrity of her counterpart in Oyo State as regards the faithful implementation of the MOU on job security and protection of students rights.

“Hence, there is no need for any panic induced request for mass transfer of workers of Osun extraction from Ogbomoso to Osun”.
