Professor Olu Aina, one of the founding fathers of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho, has admonished the two owner states to revisit the reports of the visitation panel which recommended that Osun should relinquish her ownership to Oyo State for permanent peace to return to the institution.
Professor Aina who dropped the hint while speaking with journalists in Osogbo on the build up to his 80th birthday anniversary said that the report of the visitation panel if implemented will restore normalcy and put permanent end to the ownership crisis while compensation be worked out for Osun.
He said the panel which he headed was set up by the Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Chief Adebayo Alao Akala led administrations and arrived at the option as the best solution to the crisis which had bedeviled the university for some years back.
Professor Aina who noted that he wrote the academic brief of the Lautech University stressed that the sooner the report is revisited and implemented, the sooner permanent peace return to the university.
Aina who stressed that as one of the founding fathers, they did not envisage the current crisis rocking the university blamed the owner states for the persistent problems facing the university.
He attributed the problem to political miscalculation of the leadership of the two states who rather than concentrate on the development were struggling for power and fame.
According to him, the committee arrived at the solution having realized that apart from the fact that LAUTECH was located on Oyo State land, Osun was already working on its own university as at then.
