Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has once again affirmed its reputation for excellence in innovation and research, emerging as the First runner-up at the third National Innovation Competition organised by the Nigerian Academy of Engineering. 

The university team received a cash prize of N6,000,000 and an additional $2,000 at the competition, which was held in Lagos on June 24, 2026.

The award-winning LAUTECH team comprised Mubarak Erinfolami and Ajibade Ifeoluwa of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Faizat Olubori of the Department of Medicine and Surgery, and Fatia Bello of the Department of Chemical Engineering.

The achievement reflects LAUTECH's continued commitment to fostering innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and research-driven solutions to real-world challenges.

The university community congratulates the students on this remarkable accomplishment and commends their ingenuity, dedication, and outstanding performance. 

Appreciation is also extended to the university management for its unwavering support and to the Director of the Centre for Emerging Skills and Technologies (CEST), Prof. Tesleem Asafa, whose invaluable mentorship and guidance were instrumental in the team's successful innovation journey.
