Lagos State University Staff Unions Suspend Indefinite Strike Action

The Joint Action Committee, JAC of all Staff Unions at Lagos State University, LASU has announced the suspension of its indefinite strike, effective from Monday, December 23, 2024.

The decision was reached during an emergency congressional meeting held at the MBA Auditorium, LASU, Ojo, and confirmed in a press release signed by the leadership of the unions representing ASUU, SSANU, NAAT, and NASU.

The strike which began on December 6, 2024, was called off to restore normalcy to the university and allow continued dialogue between the unions, the Lagos State Government, the LASU Governing Council, and the university management.

The unions revealed that two out of their three primary demands have been addressed through collective bargaining with the government and university authorities. They expressed optimism that further negotiations would resolve the remaining issues.

JAC extended its profound appreciation to Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu for his intervention and efforts in meeting some of their demands, describing his actions as pivotal in setting the stage for a peaceful resolution to the industrial action.

The unions also thanked their members for their solidarity throughout the strike, highlighting their commitment to improving the working conditions and welfare of LASU staff.

”As the strike is suspended, academic and administrative activities at Lagos State University are expected to resume immediately. However, the unions pledge to continue engaging with the government to ensure the full resolution of our demands, while our commitment to the welfare of staff remains unwavering.”
