Staff unions at Lagos State University have commenced an indefinite strike, effective immediately, citing unresolved issues with the university administration.
The strike was declared by the Joint Action Committee (JAC), which includes 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). Their decision was outlined in a letter dated July 31, 2025, and addressed to Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello.
The strike notice, obtained by our correspondent on Friday, was signed by ASUU-LASU Chairman Prof. Ibrahim A. Bakare and Secretary Dr. Sylvester O. Idowu, alongside SSANU-LASU Chairman Oluwaseyi Lawal and Secretary Waheed Majekodunmi.
The unions have instructed all staff members across LASU’s main campus, the Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM) in Ikeja, and the Epe campus to withdraw their services and vacate their duty posts immediately.
