The Chairman of the Osun Reconciliation Committee on LAUTECH, Prof. Olu Aina, said Oyo State Government had refused to respond to a letter informing it of Osun’s readiness to negotiate discontinuation of joint ownership of the institution.

Aina said Osun would be ready to meet Oyo State to discuss the future of the institution, but maintained that the judgment of the Supreme Court which affirmed joint ownership of the institution should be respected.

“If Oyo wants a divorce, we have to discuss it. Even between husband and wife, before separation, there will be discussion. We are asking Oyo to come to a round-table discussion.”
