LAUTECH Teaching Hospital Sacks 255 Workers
The management of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Teaching Hospital has sacked about 255 workers of the institution and redeployed 299 others to the state service.
This was revealed in an internal memorandum signed by A.M Ajiferuke, dated 27th December, 2017, which confirmed the disengagement of workers of the teaching hospital jointly owned by Oyo and Osun States.
The memo obtained by newsmen showed that 299 other workers of the hospital are to be redeployed to the state service, bringing the total of affected workers to 554.
The internal memo reads, “Kindly find below, the list of disengaged staff as directed by the Oyo State Government and approved by the board at her meeting held on Thursday, 21st December, 2017.”
It was discovered that the same fate may befall other workers of LAUTECH as the owner-states begin the process of ‘weeding’.
An internal source, who begged not to be named, said, “The headcount was unable to commence Thursday due to flight delay. The team couldn’t fly from Lagos to Ibadan due to unfavourable weather condition.”
It was further gathered that various unions are spoil for war against the owner-states.
However, efforts made by our correspondent to get the spokesperson of the Teaching Hospital to confirm the list proved abortive as at the time of filing this report.
But the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of LAUTECH, Mr. Akin Fadeyi, when called to speak on the matter, said that he could not comment because LAUTECH is different from LAUTECH Teaching Hospital.
Fadeyi said, “You see, there is a difference between LAUTECH and LAUTCH teaching Hospital. I don’t speak for the Teaching hospital”.
