The management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, has debunked rumours that the university has been shut down because of the fear that bandits want to invade the institution.
In a statement on Tuesday evening signed by Olalekan Fadeyi on behalf of the Registrar, Mrs Olayinka Balogun, the management of the university called on the public to disregard such claims.
“This is to strongly debunk the rumour making the rounds that the Management of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has closed down the University for fear of invasion by bandits.
“This is to inform our students, their parents and guardians that there is no immediate reason for management of LAUTECH to close down the University, therefore the University is still in session.
“As a matter of fact, our students are currently writing their examinations and the exercise continues tomorrow.
“Management regrets whatever inconvenience this unfounded rumour may have caused.”
The rumour may not be unconnected to the fact that last Friday’s attacks on some schools in Oriire Local Government Area by bandits took place in locations that are not far from the university town.
