The Branch Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso,  Dr Biodun Olaniran has said the union is against commercialization and Privatization of Education in Nigeria.

Dr Olaniran said the union as is against  the fee increment policy in the university.

“We are against the fee increment in the varsity and as a body we would do everything to ensure we kick against it as the government has no plans for education.

“There should be proper funding of education which will be accessed by the poor. Education should be for all not for the rich alone.  Students should not be extorted because of education.

“We are working towards the crisis and very soon everything will be solved because we would be meeting with the  school to lay the demands of the body as the national body itself are aware of the development and we urge students to be calm as everything is under control.”  he assured.

The management  LAUTECH recently  increased the tuition  fee of the varsity which led to a protest by the students who kicked against the hike.
