Ajimobi approves payment of outstanding salaries of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital workers
Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has approved the immediate payment of all outstanding salaries and allowances of members of staff of Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.

Aside the immediate payment of outstanding salaries and allowances, the governor has also approved the repositioning of the hospital in order to render adequate services as a tertiary health institution.
The repositioning, according to the governor, would include a total
upgrade of the structures at the hospital and the installation of some equipment.
All these, he said, would put the hospital in a better stead to deliver first class services and fulfil its objectives as a tertiary health institution.
