AGAIN :
AREGBSSOLA'S PROMISED FUND FINALLY CONFIRMED IN LAUTECH KITTY, AWAITS AJIMOBI OWN
By Oyedeji Ahmed ( LMP )
Though, the report was that Aregbesola released 1 billion, but in the school kitty, only 930 million was confirmed. Anyway, that's a minor issue. The main problem now is when will oyo state government release her own trench ?
First and foremost, I need to state clearly that no any amount of money has been released by the oyo state government as report earlier had it. According to a news, it was reported that oyo state government also released 500 million, a statement credited to the SSG of the state. But with our little investigation, we confirmed that as untrue. Hence, we urge the students to disregard that for now pending the time the state government will truly release her own promised fund probably this week.
Aregbesola has demonstrated his own unwavering support, it's now left for Governor AJIMOBI to do as promised. Thank God he said this openly during an interview that the government will give the school a maximum of 3 months grants, but what is still delaying it ? I don't expect him to be the one still delaying the money. Why ? because we always believe he's more committed to the school than his counterpart. But now that Aregbesola has taken the lead, one could easily say that Aregbesola he's more concerned about our plight than him. Everyday, they keep saying it is under processing, I ask, for like how many days do we still have to wait to process the fund? This is taking longer than expected.
Yes, the school management alongside the other tertiary institutions in oyo state is holding meeting today. But that's not enough to expect the release of the promised fund in the aftermath of the meeting. The meeting will have no or little effect on the release of the promised fund. The call for the meeting is probably to discuss on mode of payment, 25% monthly subvention and salary palaver.
Meanwhile, the management and council representative will be meeting with the unions tomorrow by 10am ( 5th of October, 2017 ). But my greatest worry now is to what to be discussed since the oyo state promised fund yet to be released. If not, I'd have been full of confidence that the unions will summon for congress afterward had it been the oyo state fund has been released. But we are still expecting it to be out before the end of this week or next-week.
Anyway, let's continue to pray that God touch the heart of Governor AJIMOBI to be able to release the fund any moment from now. We can't just afford to wait any longer.
We are getting there. Keep the hope alive.
4th of October, 2017.
