Explosive Photoshoot: URP 300 level students anticipate exclusive log out

29th April, 2014 will forever linger in the heart of 300 level students of Urban & Regional Planning, Lautech. The much anticipated La-Rex Media Day (LMD) / URP Class '15 tagged "CORPORATE PLANNERS" was held after the last paper for the session. LaRex Media is owned by two Ladokites who are strictly into photography and video-production.

As at the time of gathering this report, about 500 pictures were taken with the students dressed corporately at New 100 level lab complex. The event started around 11am with prayers from both religion (Christianity & Islamic), after which the 10 nominated (5 from each gender) best dressed planners were voted for by their level mates.

Emerging first at the male category is Mr. Sola (A.K.A Biscuit) and Akano Abiola was voted best dressed in the female category. The best 3 in each category were given gifts courtesy LAUTECH Google Student Ambasdadors. One of the high point of the event was the giving away of free airtime for the fastest fingers on their mobile phones. 

The event was brought to a close with class '15 group pictures, clique pictures and individual pictures. 

If the organization of the event could be this perfect at 300 level, how will their final year logout event would be? Watch out for URP Class '15 [The Spartans]!

Lautech medical consultants urge government to pay salaries

The Medical and Dental Consultants Association, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has urged the Oyo State Government to settle the unpaid salaries of members to put an end to the ongoing industrial strike.

The group made the call in a statement jointly signed by Dr Adewale Adeyemi and Dr Afolabi Salawu, Chairman and Secretary respectively.
The statement was made available to newsmen on Sunday in Ogbomoso.

Labour unions in the hospital embarked on the strike action in the first week of April.
The unions are protesting the non payment of their salaries since January.

The statement said the strike had brought untold hardship to patients, workers and students.

It acknowledged the dwindling resources available to the state government for its developmental programmes, but urged government to be considerate in its dealings with the striking workers.

The statement also urged government to resolve the crisis and restore normalcy in the hospital. (NAN)

Lautech stand still for Tinubu

Former Lagos state governor and National Leader of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) Sen. Bola Tinubu yesterday was invested as Lautech Chancellor and also awarded the D.Sc (Honoris Causa) in Management Sciences by the institution.

The Convocation, Investiture award and lecture take place at the SIFAX Lecture Theatre have in attendance APC big wigs all around the country,while speaking yesterday, The APC National Leader urged election riggers to stay clear of Osun and Ekiti States during the forthcoming gubernatorial election.

According to him “I fear this government will not allow free and fear elections in 2015. If the balloting during the last year’s vote on the chairmanship of the Nigerian Governor’s forum is indicative, then coming elections will be ones where numbers and Maths are immaterial,” he said.

He maintained that without reforms, elections may likely be ones where those the people rejected would be proclaimed the people’s choice, adding that such malpractice would only place the nation on a dangerous straits.

“To avoid this calamity, we need sweeping electoral reform. Foremost, we need a fully bio-metric voters verification and validation of registration system.

Adding that “Our current system encourages multiple voting and not verifiable one man one vote. As such, it is a veritable invitation card to massive fraud and malpractice,” he said.

Tinubu, who is also the Chancellor of the Institution, condemned in its entirety the Nyanyan killings and the abduction of female students in Borno, saying the their assailants had grown more brazen
“Their mayhem has not abated. The tempo and consistency of attacks suggest that this government’s approach is not only tepid but wrong-minded. We have reached a point where uncertain policy and half measures do not suffice.

“These terrorists have declared war not only against government but against the whole of us,” he said.
™
He implored the Jonathan administration to develop a grand strategy to bind this menace, urging it to move the African Union summits to jointly and decisively eliminate all sources of insurgency within the member states.

The APC National leader said that patriotism was about country and not self nor religious bigotry, saying Nigerians must stand bi-partisan, united and in complete solidarity against the threat to the nation.

Tinubu faulted the recently released GDP by the federal government, adding that the magical statistics does not translate to improvement in the people’s economic condition.

He pledged to do his best for the institution, saying he dared not do less because he followed the footsteps of men who never saw failure as an option.

Dignitaries at the convocation includes former head of state, Rtd Gen. Muhammad’s Buhari, Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State, Gov. Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, Minority leader of the House of Representatives, Sen. Sola Adeyeye, Sen.

Lautech doctors appeal to Oyo & Osun Government

TheAssociation of Resident Doctors (ARD), Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso Chapter, has appealed to Oyo and Osun state governments, owners of the institution to pay the salaries of its members.

The association made the plea today in a statement issued in Ogbomoso by its president, Dr Taofeek Oloyede.

The union expressed dismay that its members were last paid in December 2013.

“Resident doctors in this hospital have worked against all odds to ensure the good people of Ogbomoso and its environs get the best of care which has been enjoyed since inception.”

The association, said its members had commenced an indefinite strike since 7 April. The association also noted that the action of Oyo and Osun governments had wrought grave consequences on the hospital.

The union said its members would no longer continue to bear the brunt of the neglect and called for the intervention of all stakeholders.

Workers at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital (LAUTECH), Osogbo declared an indefinite strike action on wednesday.

The decision was taken at a congress held by various workers unions at the institution on Wednesday. The workers complained about their unpaid salaries between October and December 2013, and March 2014.

The Medical and Dental Union in the Institution had commenced strike action a day earlier, Tuesday, 15th April 2014.

Lautech seals gate of hell

The revolution of Lautech continues and the latest is the blocking of illegal entrances into the school premises. Out of the numerous entrances and shortcuts into the school, the university has successfully blocked every additional route except from the main entrance along Ilorin express road, Under G school gate and Adenike's little single-entrance gate. 

This morning, the last illegal route along Harmony Club which has always been a horrible route to pass for students especially at night got blocked. It is no longer news to ladokites that in the last few months, gradual and successful changes have been made to beautify Lautech. 

God Bless Lautech!

University mass choir set for first official performance

After weeks of rehearsals, the University Choir of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, is set to perform at its first official event, the 12th inaugural lecture of LAUTECH. Speaking with the director of the University Choir, Mr Akin Odesola noted that the interreligious choir made up of Muslims and Christians who are members of the Ladoke Akintola university of technology community: staffs and students, is set for its first public performance. Just this semester, the rain semester of the 2012/2013 session the university choir presented to the university top management team a new university anthem to replace the old anthem which was for the student union, and had words that weren’t representing the core values of the university.

As over 35,000 students look forward to the first performance of the university choir a feat that hasn’t been achieved in 23 years, the vice chancellor Prof Sulaiman Gbadegesin promised to ensure that the choirs do not just perform at the convocation of the University scheduled for next month, but also at all public events of the university as being initiated by performing at the inaugural lecture series 12, by Prof. Taiwo Adegboyega Adewole a Professor of chemical pathology. Scheduled for Thursday 17th of April 2014, and themed “from DNA to molecular diagnosis : the future of the past in the Nigerian contemporary medical practice.

It however must be noted that LAUTECH being a university of technology, has no department of music or classical studies, and makes the choir a group of students and staffs who are ready to give back to their society. As rehearsals continue, and musicals instruments keep rolling in, students, staffs of the Educational society are anticipating the ground performance.
