The Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Prof. Mojeed Liasu, has been appointed acting VC of the institution.
This development is contained in a decision extract issued at end of the 138th and inaugural meeting of the 10th governing council held on Wednesday at the Council Chamber of the institution’s Senate Building, signed by the institution’s registrar, Dr. K.A. Ogunleye.
The decision became expedient following a directive from Governor Seyi Makinde asking the Vice Chancellor, Professor Michael Ologunde, to step aside and hand over to the next principal officer in rank.
The development came months after LAUTECH was officially ceded to Oyo, following an agreement reached between Oyo and Osun states.
The newly appointed acting VC is a professor of Plant Physiology Department of Pure and Applied Biology in LAUTECH.
