Osun State Government on Tuesday said the Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, must have been wrongly briefed on the running of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, for saying that Osun abandoned the payment of workers of the institution.

A statement from the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Wole Oyebamiji, declared that Osun had paid the salaries of workers in the university and the Teaching Hospital in Osogbo.

In addition to contributing regularly to payments in LAUTECH Ogbomoso, the statement said Osun government alone had been responsible for the payment of salaries of workers at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo from 2013 to date, amounting to N16, 369, 953, 830.48.

“For instance, from January to June this year, while Oyo had paid about N1.1bn to the university, Osun on the other hand had paid about N1.7bn from January to July this year to LAUTECH Teaching Hospital.”
