THE HISTORY OF LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY OF
TECHNOLOGY, OGBOMOSO
The conception of the University began in 1987 when Governor Adetunji Olurin, the then
Military Governor of Oyo State, whom in response to a letter from the Governing Council of the
Polytechnic Ibadan, set up a seven member inter-committee under the chairperson of Mrs.
Oyinkan Ayoola. The committee submitted its report in 1988 and recommended the
establishment of a state university. In response to their submission, a 15 member committee of
distinguished academicians under the chairmanship of Professor J.A Akinpelu was inaugurated
to further deliberate on the matter. The committee again retained the earlier recommendation of
the necessity for a university in the then Oyo State. Several other committees, notably that of the
Archdeacon (Dr) E.O. Alayande also deliberated on the viability of an Oyo State University. In
October 1989, an inter-ministerial committee set up by the Governor, Col. Sasaeniyan Adedeji
Oresanya under the Chairperson of Mrs. Lydia Oyewumi Abimbola, the State Commissioner for
Education conclusively approved the idea and launched the Higher Education Development
Appeal Fund of the University. A total sum of N19m was realized in both cash and pledges from
the launching ceremonies conducted in the State Capital and in all the 42 Local Government
Areas of the State. Bashorun M.K.O. Abiola who was the Chief Launcher, donated a total sum of
N2.5million.
13 | P a g e
Abdulkarim Adisa. Other foundation Principal Officers are: Late Dr. O.D Tinuoye as the
Registrar, Mr. D.O Olopade (Ag. Bursar) and Dr. Fasanya (Librarian).
The first Academic session began on 19th October, 1990 with a total number of four
hundred and thirty six (436) candidates offered admission to various courses in four Faculties
namely: Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Engineering and Technology and Pure
and Applied Sciences. The College of Health Sciences was established in October 1991 with
thirty (30) students.
Arising from the creation of Osun State from the former Oyo State, the name of the
University was changed from Oyo State University of Technology to Ladoke Akintola
University of Technology, Ogbomoso and the Edict that established the University was
appropriately amended.
On June 15th 1997, at the expiration of the tenure of the first Vice-Chancellor, a Sole
Administrator in person of Prof. A.M. Salau JP, FNIP, a renowned Physicist was appointed. He
later became the Acting Vice-Chancellor on July 6, 1999 and substantive Vice-Chancellor, from
May 23, 2000 to May 22, 2005. The Principal Officers during his tenure were Prof. J.O. Olapade
and M.A Osundina as Deputy Vice-Chancellors, Messrs J.O. Oladokun, and Y.O Gbadamosi as
Registrar and Acting Registrar respectively; Mr. T.O. Oyeleye, Bursar and Mr G. Adio, Acting
Librarian.
On May 23, 2005, Prof. T.I Raji was appointed as the Acting Vice-Chancellor, the
position he held till September 30, 2005. Thereafter, Prof.B.B. Adeleke, C.Chem; FCSN MNES
assumed office as the third Vice-Chancellor of the University on October, 1, 2005 while Prof.
R.O.R. Kalilu was elected as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor on January 5, 2006. The other
Principal Officers namely: Dr. J.O. Faniran, Mr. E.A. Alagbe and G. Adio assumed office on
July 1, 2006 as Registrar, Bursar and Librarian respectively, while Prof. O.O. Ojediran was
elected as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor on January 22, 2008. On April 30, 2010, the Governing
Council of the institution announced the appointment of Prof. Moshood Lanrewaju Nassar as the
Ag. Vice-Chancellor of the Institution while Mr. Niyi Fehintola assumed office as the
institution’s Ag. Registrar on July 27, 2010. Prof. A.S Gbadegesin was announced as the Ag.
Vice-Chancellor on August 5, 2011 while Messrs J.A Agboola, A.A Okediji and I.O Ajala were
appointed as Ag. Registrar, Ag. Bursar and Ag. Librarian respectively.
14 | P a g e
Prof. A.S Gbadegesin later became the substantive Vice-Chancellor while Messrs J.A Agboola,
A.B.C. Olagunju and I.O. Ajala were in acting capacities in the positions of Registrar, Bursar
and Librarian respectively while Prof. T.A Adebayo was the Deputy Vice-Chancellor.
Prof. M. O. Ologunde become the Vice-chancellor on February 14, 2019 with Dr. K. A.

HISTORY OF LODLC
A former Vice-Chancellor, Professor M. L. Nassar engaged the services of a Consultant and
training outfit to assist in steering the University towards applying for an Open Distance
Learning license sometime in 2011. During his tenure, a number of trainings were conducted
towards obtaining license and commencement of ODL but it was not successful. The above
process was steered by Academic Planning Unit.
In March 2011, a total of 17 members of academic staff attended training on the fundamentals of
ODL. This was followed by a second set of 145 in May of the same year. You would agree with
me that given this population size, we cannot exactly say that members of staff of LAUTECH
are ignorant of the principles and practice of ODL. 45 individuals were trained in content
development in Lagos in June 2011. This was to be a train-the-trainers intensive workshop
involving various tools and multimedia devices. We followed up with trainings on ODL policy
formulation in October 2012, two capacity building workshops for e-tutors and learner support
teams in February and May 2014. Several in-house training have been conducted periodically till
date.

In March 2012, a twelve man Committee was set up on a four year projection plan for
LAUTECH ODL through the decision extract of the Senate meeting of Thursday February 23,
2012 with Professor M. O. Ologunde and Mrs. J. O. Oyetola as Chairman and Secretary
16 | P a g e
respectively. The committee was to look into Open and Distance Learning programmes approved
in principle and suggest the final draft to Senate.
The latest Committee named Implementation Committee on LAUTECH Open and Distance
Learning was set up on June 11, 2012, by Prof. A.S Gbadegesin, headed by Professor O. O.
Fawole with a clear mandate from the Senate to midwife the adoption and full Implementation
of ODL in LAUTECH which is almost reaching a take off stage after the approval by Senate of
four programmes namely: Computer Science, Accounting,Marketing and Nursing Science with
the following as members of the committee
The current LODLC Board was constituted on September 1, 2015 with the following as
members;
1. Prof. A.S Gbadegesin - Chairman
2. Prof. T. Ebijuwa - Director
3. - Deputy Director
4. Prof. O.S Amuda - Vice Chancellor’s Representative
5. Mr. M.A Folayowon - Registrar Representative

12. Prof. A.A Adegbola - Director, Academic Planning
13. Dr. O.T Arulogun - Director, LICT
14. - ICT Expert
15. Mrs J.O Oyetola - Secretary
There has been a lot of commitment in terms of finance, time and effort members of staff of the
University towards this enterprise. We would like to mention specifically that these trainings
were done with the ODL guidelines proposed by the NUC in mind. One of the earlier trainings
produced a draft policy document for LAUTECH ODL.
One needs to mention that there were a few problems with the acceptance of the ODL idea at the
beginning due to what was generally perceived as the violations of procedure by the last
dispensation. Subsequently, in order to ensure a systems approach and University-wide
ownership of the LODL, the Vice Chancellor, Professor A. S. Gbadegesin took steps to obtain
Senate approval to commence action. We shall outline some of the decisions taken by the Senate
below.
It is gratifying to note that we have the full support of Senate. The University Management has
followed the leadership of the Senate by undertaking the following:
18 | P a g e
Support for course materials development
Appointment of LODLC Project Consultant
Allocation of take-off building to the LODLC
Provision of Financial Allocation
The committee can report authoritatively that the following infrastructures are in place to support
a credible ODL operation in the University.
We have also surveyed the primary locale for ODL deployment to determine
the level of ICT literacy and the support of the university community
Private infrastructure as well as the economic status,
psychological preparedness
Familiarity with ODL mode of clientele.
This is done in order to ensure that we deploy a system that is accessible and sustainable, and are
better informed about the level and depth of support and training to give our clientele.

ORIENTATION PROGRAMME
The orientation Programme is the first exposure of fresh students to social and academic
life both within and outside the University. It is a period within which students are introduced to
the various activities that they will be exposed to in the course of their academic programme.
Orientation also affords students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the rules,
regulations and procedures of the University. The orientation activities offer students a singular
opportunity to avoid unnecessary embarrassments.
As part of the orientation week activities, freshers are able to meet the officers of the
University and LODLC. They are introduced to various facilities in the University such as
Health Center, Library, and sporting activities etc.
Once a student has been given a matriculation number, he/she must retain it even if he/she
changes his/her Programme of study. He/She must use his/her undergraduate matriculation
number when registering for any postgraduate course in the University. Disciplinary procedures
will be taken against any student who attempts to obtain a second matriculation number.
46 | P a g e
IDENTITY CARD
Each registered student of the Centre, upon payment of a prescribed fee, is issued with an
official student identity card valid for required numbers of session he is to spend in school.
Students may be required, at any-time, to identify themselves upon request by authorized
University officials acting in the performance of their duties.
Some University facilities are open to only students who are able to show valid cards.
Students are required, therefore, to take very good care of their identity cards, carry them always
and be ready to produce them at any time on demand.
Students must surrender their identity cards to the centre upon their graduation or withdrawal
from the University. Failure to do so shall attract appropriate disciplinary action.
(a) No student will be allowed into examination hall without identity card.
(b) The identity card is a security document and students are advised to keep it securely
against loss or theft.
(c) Students are advised to report loss or theft of their identity cards to the security unit or
Student Affairs Unit without any delay.
LEAVE Of ABSENCE
Any student of the centre who, after one or two semesters or at any other point in time of
his studies, is unable to continue with his/her studies on account of ill-health or financial
difficulties, may apply through his/her centre to Senate for leave of absence for a semester,
subject to a maximum period of two semesters.
47 | P a g e
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAMME
Any student who is absent from the University for two consecutive semesters without official
permission will be deemed to have withdrawn from the University. Also, a student whose CGPA
falls below 1.00 at the end of a semester shall be on probation during the following semester. If
he/she fails to achieve a CGPA of at least 1.00 at the end of that semester, he/she shall be
required to withdraw from the University.
(a) Any student who fails to register within the specified period will be deemed to have
absented himself/herself from the course for the semester. Absence from the course without
permission will lead to forfeiture of the semester by the student and disqualification from
writing the University examination at the end of the semester.
(b) The Electronic registration for courses shall take place at a specified period (not more than
two weeks) at the beginning of each semester.
(c) A student must register for the required number of courses/units (including compulsory and
required courses) as prescribed by the Faculty/Department concerned at the beginning of
each semester.
(d) Each student must register for the specified General Studies courses, which he/she must
pass in order to qualify for the award of the University Degree.
- First Semester
The submission of Registration Forms for the First Semester shall end before
matriculation in the cases of freshers and two weeks after the University official date of
resumption in the case of returning undergraduates.
- Second Semester
48 | P a g e
Students are expected to complete their registration for the semester two weeks after
the University official date of resumption.
Students must attach the following documents to their Course Registration Forms:
(b) Any student who fails to register for courses within the two-week period of registration
in any semester shall forfeit his/her studentship for that semester.
(c) Any student who does not register for a course in any semester would not be allowed to
sit for examination in that course. No Registration! No Examination! No Result!

The Course Unit System is an operation system in which the entire number of courses
required by a student for a particular degree is packaged into a number of modules. Each
consisting of a prescribed number of units, usually, one module is to be offered in one semester.
(i) Pattern of Examination: Each course shall be examined at the end of the semester (or
session as the case may be) in which it is offered. This shall mostly be computer based test,
theory paper of two or three hours, in addition to which there may be a practical paper
and/or an oral examination;
(ii) Qualification for Examination: To be qualified to sit for an examination, the student must
be dully registered, pay his/her school fee fully and obtain examination card for the
examination.
(b) The results of the prescribed theory and/or practical examination in the course
which is usually 60%.
(iv) Levels of Performance: The grades awarded for a course are as follows:
70-100 A Excellent
50-59 C Good
45-49 D Satisfactory
54 | P a g e
40-44 E Weak Pass
0-39 F Failure
The semester GPA is then obtained as the ratio of total number of credit points (TCP) to
the total number of units (TNU) of courses offered during the semester. Thus,
GPA=TCP/TNU.
(vi) Cumulative Performance: While the GPA specified above is used to measure the
performance of a student in a given semester, the Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) is the one that really determines the student’s overall academic standing and,
therefore, his continued stay or otherwise in the University after the semester
examination. It is also CGPA that is used to classify the degrees awarded to students.
The CGPA is obtained as the ratio of all the credit points accumulated since entering the
University to the total number of units registered for since coming into the University.
In other words, the CGPA is equal to the cumulative credit points (CCP), divided by the
cumulative load units, (CLU), thus CCP/CLU=CGPA.
55 | P a g e
All CGPA calculations are to decimal places. Sample computation of GPA and CGPA is
presented later in this booklet.
(vii) Incomplete Grade: When a student is unable to complete all the prescribed
requirements for a course in which he/she is formally registered, his/her result may be
deemed to be incomplete by the offering department until the department certifies that all
prescribed requirements have been met but, in all cases not later than one semester after
the course had been offered.
(viii) Academic Probation: A student whose CGPA at the end of a Semester is less than 1.00
shall be placed on academic probation during the subsequent semester.
At the end of each semester the final results of the semester examination shall be
published by the centre after Senate approval and posted on the University’s website.
REPETITION OF COURSE
Any course failed by a student must be repeated until it is passed. A student shall repeat
only those courses in which he/she has obtained a grade of F. The grade earned for a repeat
course shall be recorded and used in the computation of GPA and CGPA in usual way.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT
To qualify for a degree in the LODLC of the University, each student shall normally be
required to spend a minimum period of three to four academic years depending on the mode of
admission and course of study.
56 | P a g e

61 | P a g e
individuals which may be in conflict with the welfare and integrity of the University or in
disregard of the right of other members of this community.
The legitimate expression of differing opinion and concerns is an essential part of the
academic community. But the imposition of opinion and concern upon those who, in turn,
dissent from them shall not be tolerated. It is emphasized that all members of the University
community, including students, are subject to the laws of the nation whether within or outside
University campus, like all other citizens. They are expected to learn to cope with problems
intelligently, reasonably and with understanding and consideration for the right of others. Each
member shall recognise that as he/she values his/her right and freedom so is he/she expected to
respect the right and freedom of others.
The University reserves the right to discipline a student or to require, through established
disciplinary processes, his/her withdrawal from the University based on evidence of a student’s
failure to abide by its rules. Upon matriculation, every student must obtain and complete bio-data
and Denounciation/Renounciation of membership of cult group form at the office of Dean of
Student Affairs.
Disciplinary probation is a trial for a specific period of time during which a student must
behave in a manner acceptable to the University. The Disciplinary Committee may
62 | P a g e
impose terms, which will restrict the student’s participation in extra-curricular and/or
other activities.
(b) Suspension:
Suspension is an action which excludes the student from registration, attendance of
lectures, practical classes, examinations and the use of University facilities for a specified
period of time. This action means that the student must immediately leave the Campus
and shall not return to the University until the suspension period is over.
(c) Expulsion:
Expulsion is the permanent withdrawal of student from the university. The privileges of
registration, attendance of lectures, practical, examinations as the use of University
facilities are withdrawn from the student. This action means that the student must leave
the Campus immediately and cease to be a student of the University.
(d) Appeal:

officials.
63 | P a g e
(d) A student shall not be a member of any proscribed organisation.
(e) A student shall not hold any illegal or secret meeting organized by secret

(h) Immodest dressing by any student will attract disciplinary sanctions and such student
(male or female) could be asked to leave the lecture room or University function.
(i) Offenders shall face the Students Disciplinary Committee, depending on the
seriousness of the misconduct.
(iii) Discipline of Students
Subject to the provision of this section, where it appears to the Vice-Chancellor after due
investigation, that any student of the University has been found guilty of misconduct, the
Vice-Chancellor may, without prejudice to any other disciplinary powers conferred on
him by statute or regulation, direct:
(a) That the student shall not, during such period as may be specified in the directive,
participate in such activities of the University or make use of such facilities of the
University, as may be so specified; or
(b) That the student be suspended for such period as may be specified in the directive
(c) That the student be expelled from the University.
Whatever the directive given under paragraph (b) or (c) of the above in respect of any
student, the student may in the prescribed manner, appeal against the directive through the
Registrar to Senate or Council and where such an appeal is brought, the Senate or Council shall,
after due consideration, either confirm or set aside the directive or modify it in such a manner as
the Senate or Council deems fit. The fact that an appeal against a directive of the Vice-
Chancellor is brought in pursuance of the preceding sub-section, operation of the directive shall
not be affected while the appeal is pending.
The vice-Chancellor may exercise his power under the Section through a Disciplinary
Board or Committee consisting of such members of the University as he may nominate. Nothing
in this Section shall be construed as preventing the restriction or termination of a student’s
64 | P a g e
activities at the University other than on the ground of misconduct. Any student who has been
advised to withdraw from the University for any reason shall neither attend lectures nor
participate in other students’ activities.

unable to resolve the crisis/issue shall refer the matter to the Dean of Student Affairs 24
hours after the complaint/objection was raised for appropriate solution.
(viii) Dress Code for Students
Preamble
The saying that “the apparel oft proclaims the man” is a truism for everybody – men and
women, boys and girls, old and young. Though the University cares about the good physical
appearance of its students, their dressing must, however, be in conformity with what is
considered decent and appropriate for every occasion.
66 | P a g e
Indeed, most of these trends are either a passing fad, negative cultural trait or fanaticism, which
actually should not be allowed in an academic environment such as ours.
Dress Code
For the avoidance of doubt, male and female students are not allowed to wear the following.
67 | P a g e
(c) Faculties and Departments which require special safety of protective dress modes,
such as, apron, overalls, gloves, nose and head-covers should have them officially
prescribed for their students.
(d) Sports and Games wears for athletes, sportsmen and sportswomen should be officially
prescribed for this category of students to be worn in sports and games areas.
(e) The wearing of earrings and plaiting of hair by male students is banned.
During matriculation and graduation ceremonies, students are expected to dress formally
and wear academic gowns.
(i) Lecturers and Administrative staff are empowered to correct/exclude students from
the lectures, library, examination halls, etc. and official business when they are not
properly dressed.
(ii) Violators, depending on the specific circumstances, would be counseled and if
necessary will face the Students’ Disciplinary Committee and have their records
endorsed accordingly.
Caution
Any student who is found to contravene any of these dress code prescriptions will face
immediate disciplinary action.
appropriate medium.

3rd Offender - The violator be sent to the Students Disciplinary Committee for further
(a) Except where special permission has been granted in writing, no student whose fees for
the session have not been paid will be admitted into the University. Students who claim
to be on Scholarship or other awards will be expected to pay their fees in full at the time
of registration. Such students should therefore endeavour to obtain from their sponsor(s)
their full fees (in the form of certified Cheques payable to the Bursary Department,
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso) before reporting at the
University for registration.
(b) Students who are compelled to be absent from the University because they are unable to
pay their stipulated fees stated above at the specified time will not be absolved from
paying their fees for the period of such absence.
During the first few years, the average student faces the task of taking some major steps
towards maturity and adulthood. Generally, this involves establishing a clearer identity of
himself/himself and his/her relationship to the world around him/her.
The objectives of the information and guidance services are to facilities the development
of students and to help them make the most of their University experience. Specifically, these
may include counseling towards enhancing self-understanding, selecting appropriate educational
69 | P a g e
and vocational goals, improving effectiveness in working towards these goals, increasing social
competence and resolving personal difficulties which interfere with general functioning and
development.
The counseling members of staff are there physically and online to assist students to
make intelligent decisions regarding their time, money, skill, sex, vocation, education and social
plans.
The centre has made arrangements to assign each student to a counselor for consultation.
Students needing academic assistance are encouraged to seek help before their problems become
critical or chronic.
HOSTEL ACCOMODATION
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology is primarily non-residential for students and
members of staff. To this end, each student is expected to arrange for his/her own
accommodation. Assistance in locating housing is available at the student’s union offices.
Financial arrangement for rooms and apartments are made on an individual basis between the
student and the landlord/agent. Students are constantly reminded not to keep money in their
rented quarters. They are also reminded to take home their costly luggages during vacations,
semester breaks or any public holiday.
CAMPUS SECURITY
With increasing crime waves all over the country, even at the best of times, it has not
been possible for the Nigerian police, with its limited manpower resources to provide all the
security for life and property required by corporate communities like Ladoke Akintola University
of Technology, Ogbomoso.
70 | P a g e
To complement the efforts of the police, a University Security Unit was created as far
back as the inception of the University. The Security Unit is charged with the responsibility of
enforcing all University bye laws and regulations in addition to the protection of lives and
properties on the University’s campuses.
As a routine, all incidents such as crimes, disturbances, accidents, fire outbreak etc. are
first reported to the security unit, which deals with such reports or directs appropriate cases to the
police for investigation. The security unit is headed by an Assistant Chief Security Officer. A
security man could be identified with a prescribed uniform.
