Lawyer warns Aregbesola against sacking 578 LAUTECH workers
An Ilesa-based human rights activist, Kanmi Ajibola, has warned Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state against going ahead with the plan to disengage 678 workers of the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital.
The legal practitioner, while speaking at a press
conference in Osogbo, said the governor could not take any action on the issue
because a case had been instituted against him before an Osogbo High Court.

Ajibola said “The governor claims he is good and that
he is somebody who respects the rule of law; he must demonstrate it. The case
has been taken to court and he must abide by the rule of law and should not do
anything against it pending the destination of the suit.
“Anything done after the service of the processes
becomes illegal and he should not be involved in such but should rather wait
patiently until the case is resolved in court.”
He recalled that vacancies were advertised and
candidates applied for the positions after which they were dully employed with
the government’s approval.
He wondered why government would just want to sack
them after several years of meritorious service to their father land.
