In a joint letter addressed to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji‑Bello, the unions made it clear they won’t return to work until their demands are fully met
Academic and non‑academic staff at Lagos State University (LASU) have commenced an indefinite strike, effectively shutting down campus operations. The move, spearheaded by the Joint Action Committee (JAC)—comprising ASUU, SSANU, NASU, and NAAT—began on Thursday, July 31 over “unresolved welfare issues.”
In a joint letter addressed to Vice‑Chancellor Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji‑Bello, the unions stated they will maintain the strike “until their demands are fully met.” The letter emphasised that no staff member shall return to work unless satisfactory resolutions are reached.
The shutdown has triggered widespread disruption of lectures, administrative services, and student activities across the Ojo campus. Observers report heightened tension as staff members barricaded key points, effectively preventing student and visitor access.
University management has not yet released an official response. Meanwhile, stakeholders are calling on the Lagos State Government and LASU administration to urgently intervene and avert further escalation.
