Strike: LASU halts exams, other activities indefinitely, \"Strike:<\/p>\n

\u2026Orders students to vacate hostels today<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Victor Ahiuma-Young<\/p>\n

LAGOS \u2014 THE ongoing industrial action at Lagos State University, LASU, yesterday, took a new turn as the Senate of the institution has suspended all academic and socio-academic activities, including the 2024\/2025 second semester examinations, until further notice.<\/p>\n

The 2024\/2025 second semester examinations were scheduled to begin on Monday, August 4, 2025.<\/p>\n

The decision followed the report of the strike declared by the Joint Action Committee, JAC, of staff unions, which includes the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU-LASU, the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and other institutions, NASU-LASU, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU-LASU, and the National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT-LASU.<\/p>\n

In a statement by Deputy Registrar and Coordinator of the Centre for Information and Public Relations, Mrs Oluwayemisi Thomas-Onashile, the LASU Senate explained that the resolution was reached at a virtual meeting held on Saturday, August 2, 2025.<\/p>\n

The Senate noted that the strike was primarily directed at the Lagos State Government and not the university management.<\/p>\n

The statement, which quoted the Vice-Chancellor and Chairman of Senate, further noted that university management had made efforts in recent weeks to broker peace.<\/p>\n

It said: \u201cThe core demands of the Joint Action Committee are directed at the Lagos State Government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe University Management has, over the past few weeks, facilitated dialogue and pursued peaceful resolutions between the unions and the State Government,\u201d the Senate stated.<\/p>\n

It was informed that a high-level meeting was held on Friday, August 1, 2025, chaired by the Head of Service, Mr Olabode Agoro, and attended by representatives of the unions, university management, and relevant ministries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the said meeting, it was agreed that further consultations would be held, with all parties reconvening on Thursday, August 7, 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2024\/2025 Second Semester Examinations, initially scheduled to commence on Monday, August 4, 2025 (today), are hereby suspended, and all other activities in the university are on hold until further notice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll students residing in the university hostels are to vacate the hostels at the latest by 6:00 a.m. on Monday, August 4, 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the LASU community, particularly students, are enjoined to remain calm and law-abiding during this period\u201d, it stated.<\/p>\n
