Commendations have continued to trail the
intervention of the President of the Senate
in the ongoing strike by lecturers of the
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology,
(LAUTECH).
The institution had been under lock for
several months as lecturers protest non-
payment of salaries, allowances and
pensions even as the government of Osun
and Oyo allege mismanagement of funds.
Lecturers in the institution under the
Academic Staff Union of Universities insist
the government owe them N8 billion in
arrears.
In a bid to end the lingering crisis, the
President of the Senate met with students of
the institution to discuss the possibility of
resolving the problem at the shortest
possible time.
In the meeting which was aired live on the
facebook page of the President of the
Senate, Saraki promised to get to the bottom
of the matter and ensure the school
resumes academic activities.
The meeting and promised intervention of
Saraki has generated wide commendation
on facebook by some Nigerians who
watched the video.
While some praised Saraki for his
intervention, others said that his
intervention had won them over from being
critics of the senator to being his
supporters.
However, some others were of the opinion
that his intervention was merely to score
political points while other questions his
sincerity of purpose.
