Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State has renamed the Akintola University of Technology (LAUCTECH) Teaching Hospital, Osogbo to UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital.

This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by Mr Folorunsho Oladoyin, Commissioner for Education.

According to the statement, the Osun State University is to take over the College of Health Sciences and the former LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Osogbo to complement a Teaching Hospital donated by Mr and Mrs Modupe and Folorunso Alakija, which is under construction.

The development follows an agreement between the governors of Osun and Oyo states, Adegboyega Oyetola and Seyi Makinde to cancel the joint ownership of the university.

LAUTECH’s ownership was transferred to the government of Oyo State while the College of Health’s ownership has been transferred to the government of Osun State.

Announcing the name change, Oladoyin said, “Osun State University has been directed to take over the College of Health Sciences and the former LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Osogbo. The Government of the State of Osun has approved the renaming of former LAUTECH Teaching Hospital as UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital, Osogbo with immediate effect.”
