What happened:

The institution has been closed for almost a year over  the non-payment of staff’s salaries and allowances.

LAUTECH owned by Oyo and Osun States had in June set up a crowdfunding initiative to raise N1 billion within 90 days to be used in solving the financial problems of the institution.
