figure
xlabel('xlabel')
yyaxis left
ylabel('First y-axis title')
yyaxis right
ylabel('Second y-axis title')
ylh = get(gca,'ylabel');
gyl = get(ylh);
ylp = get(ylh, 'Position');
ylp(1)=ylp(1)+0.02 ; % to adjust the position
set(ylh, 'Rotation',-90, 'Position',ylp, 'VerticalAlignment','middle', 'HorizontalAlignment','center')
