Former governor of Oyo state, Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja on Wednesday
donated N5, 840, 000 to #FundLAUTECH – an initiative set up by the
alumni to solve the institution's funding problem.
According to InsideOyo, Ladoja donated N2, 000, 000 and promised to donate his next 6 months pension salaries to the cause. His pension, according to sources, is N644, 589.15 per month.
“I know the value of education. If you educate your child, you are ensuring a good future for yourself.
“It is not only that you are serving LAUTECH, you are serving humanity. What is going to be the fate of those students who have been in the same class for close to three years. Whatever happens to LAUTECH happens to all of us. My records are there in LAUTECH, as governor. I wanted to make the school number one but we made 5th position. That is commendable. Why thinking of the immediate, we must plan for the future. Is it safe to give it to government? Is it safe to trust government with LAUTECH. It is not good for us to think of ways of making it a private univerity with affordable fees. What is wrong in having a joint ownership?'' Ladoja said.
