Students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology
( LAUTECH), Ogbomoso have shut the gates of the institution against
UTME candidates scheduled to write their examination on Monday morning.
The
gates were locked after students leaders held a congress by 5am and
resolved that the school will be lockdown and no Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination will hold until their demands are
met.
The demands include, a
comprehensive academic calendar, commencement of lectures and a
permanent resolution of the crisis in the institution. Unless the
demands are met, the student leaders said they will continue to protest
and ensure a total lockdown of the institution.
The
student leaders said the aim of the lock down is to get the attention of
the federal government on the plight of the institution.
