Oyo State Government has released the take-off grant for the commencement of activities at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, LAUTECH’s College of Agricultural Science and Renewable Natural Resources, Iseyin, in Iseyin Local Government Area.
The Chairman, Governing Council of LAUTECH, Professor Ayodeji Omole, who led other members of the council and management members of the University, on a fact-finding mission to ascertain the cost of putting up structures and renovating existing buildings for administrative, research and residential purposes stated this in Iseyin.
Professor Omole hinted that with the release of the take-off grant, work would start in earnest, as Governor Seyi Makinde would do the turning of sod at the administrative site of the college along Okeho road by November 2021.
He called on the community to provide more land for the university project as the available acquired land has been exhausted on projections based on research, academics and other aspects of the institution’s projects.
Professor Omole also asked residents to relate well with students and staff members of the College as he reckoned that they would be coming from different homes, backgrounds and with different orientations.
The Chairman later visited the Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Dr. Abdulganiy Adekunle Oloogunebi, Ajinese 1.
In a remark, the Aseyin of Iseyin commended Governor Seyi Makinde for not neglecting the Iseyin community in his strive to make Oyo State envy of other states in Nigeria.
He assured the LAUTECH Council and management staff of security of lives and properties of students and staffers of the college, assuring the delegation that upon commencement of construction works at the college site, indigenes of Iseyin would rally support for the success of the project.
The National President of Iseyin Development Union (I.D.U), Alhaji Bayo Raji told the delegation that apart from the acquired land that has been handed over to the authority of the College, another 50 acres of land was presently being acquired for the institution.
