EKO HOT BLOG reports that the the industrial action is being led by the university’s Joint Action Committee (JAC), comprising the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).
In a letter dated July 31 and addressed to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, the unions said the strike was approved during an emergency congress and would remain in place until all demands were fully addressed.
The notice, signed by representatives of ASUU and SSANU, directed all staff, including those at LASUCOM and the Epe Campus, to immediately withdraw their services.
Although specific demands were not fully disclosed, the strike is believed to be tied to unresolved welfare-related issues and unmet agreements with the university management.
The letter titled Notice of Indefinite Strike Action read in part: “We write to notify you that the indefinite strike action has commenced in Lagos State University.
The strike action will be in force indefinitely until all the demands of staff members are met by the appropriate authorities.”
The unions urged staff to comply strictly, as no member is expected to report for duty until further notice. The situation is expected to affect academic schedules and operations significantly if not swiftly addressed by relevant authorities.
