The Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Oyo State, has again been rated Best State University in Nigeria.

According to a statement by the institution’s Head of Public and Alumni Relations Unit, Lekan Fadeyi, the latest ranking by Webometric, which puts the institution as 14th overall in the country and 3,680th in the world, confirms that despite the debilitating effect of the industrial crisis experienced last year, the university’s leadership position remained unchallenged.

He said the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi Gbadegesin, has reiterated the commitment of the management to ensuring the institution’s current financial position does not affect its determination to train eggheads to man various technological spaces of the future.

According to Fadeyi, the Go`verning Council, led by Professor Oladapo Afolabi, has assured that whatever the university needs to stay on top would be encouraged.
