Speaking with newsmen after the peaceful protest, the Coordinator of Akure Zone of ASUU, Prof . Alex Odiyi , said that the neglect of LAUTECH had created problems for the union .
He said the protest was to compel the two owner- states of Osun and Oyo to rise up to their responsibilities .
Odiyi, who led other coordinators and branch chairpersons of other universities in the protest, said the neglect of the university had led to a decay of infrastructure in the institution .
He alleged that the state governments had reneged on the Memorandum of Agreement signed with the union before the last strike was called off .
