Families whose lands were acquired for the establishment of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, Ogbomoso have raised alarm over the non-payment of compensation to them, 34 years after its establishment.

DAILY POST gathered that the institution was established as Oyo University of Technology, OSUTECH, in 1990 by the military administration of old Oyo State led by Colonel Sasaenia Adedeji Oresanya. The name of the institution was later changed to Ladoke Akintola University of Technology in honour of Late Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, an indigene of Ogbomoso and the last premier of the defunct Western Region.

We have our settlements there, villages and economic resources. But, they took the lands from us without compensation. We have not been paid. We want the governments of the two states to know that we need compensation. They should compensate us. 'My people of Ile Agunbiade of Isale Afon Ogbomoso are one of the major land owners of LAUTECH land. Since about 34 years ago or so we have not been compensated, not one kobo. 'Government is proving difficult.
