The Lagos State University branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU-LASU) has declared a total and indefinite strike over what it described as the failure of the government to implement the 2025 ASUU/FGN Agreement.
The union announced the decision on Tuesday, September 15, following a congress at which members resolved to commence the industrial action.
In a statement signed by the Secretary of the ASUU-LASU Steering Committee, Comrade Thanny Nooem, and the Coordinator, Comrade Oluwaseun Babalola, the union said the decision followed months of what it described as “patient and constructive engagement” with the government without a resolution of the issues in dispute.
“This unfortunate and avoidable action has become necessary due to the continued failure of the Government to address the Union’s longstanding agitation over the implementation of the 2025 ASUU/FGN Agreement,” the statement said.
ASUU-LASU said it was seeking the “full domestication and implementation of the 2025 ASUU/FGN Agreement” as a condition for resolving the dispute.
