UNILAG rejects ASUU strike, confirms exams will proceed, , \"\"<\/p>\n

The University of Lagos, UNILAG, has rebuked its chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, for announcing an industrial action without following proper procedures.<\/p>\n

The ASUU UNILAG chapter, during a congress held on Tuesday, instructed lecturers to withdraw their services from Wednesday, citing incomplete payment of January and February salaries.<\/p>\n

The union claimed that members did not receive their full Consolidated Salary Structure for Academics, Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance, and Professorial Allowance.<\/p>\n

ASUU\u2019s chairman, Prof. Idou Keinde, said lecturers would not return to work until all outstanding payments are settled.<\/p>\n

In response, UNILAG\u2019s Head of Communication, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, emphasized that the university remains committed to staff welfare while continuing dialogue with ASUU to resolve concerns, particularly unpaid Consolidated Academic Teaching Allowances.<\/p>\n

\u201cManagement observes that due process was not followed in making this declaration. Nevertheless, discussions with the ASUU Executive are ongoing to address all issues,\u201d the university stated.<\/p>\n

UNILAG assured students that ongoing examinations would proceed as scheduled on Wednesday to minimize disruption.<\/p>\n

The statement highlighted the importance of maintaining academic activities during a critical period of the semester, including preparations for internships, the Students\u2019 Industrial Work Experience Scheme, and Law School admissions.<\/p>\n

For courses where exams were postponed, the university said rescheduling arrangements have been made, and all remaining examinations will resume from Thursday, March 12, 2026.<\/p>\n

Management urged the university community to remain calm and continue academic activities as discussions with ASUU continue toward a resolution.<\/p>\n
