LAUTECH governing council lauds Makinde over new Iseyin campus

The governing council of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH), has lauded governor Seyi Makinde for establishing the College of Agriculture and Renewable Natural Resources in Iseyin community.

The council, in a statement by one of the members, who is also an indigene of Iseyin, Mrs Titilayomi Ahmadu, said the womenfolk in particular, commended Makinde’s administration for creating the enabling environment for their personal development, especially with the availability of affordable education and basic healthcare services.

She said Makinde’s establishment of LAUTECH College in Iseyin and upgrade of former Emmanuel Alayande College of Education (EMACOED) to a university, are developments that would transform the communities and their dwellers for better in the areas of commercial and manpower development.

She said with these steps, the women in the two ancient communities would have the opportunity to have university education and be useful to the society like their men folk.

“As much as the two institutions of learning in Iseyin and Oyo will impact all, I wish to state that it will have positive impacts on women than men, the young females seeking admissions in far away northern states will be able to get admission within a short distance to their homes in Oke-Ogun and Oyo communities, this is historical.

“It is a liberation for my people in Iseyin who have yearned for years for this opportunity to have a higher institution of their own,” Ahmadu said.
