LASU, LASUED, LASUSTECH Shut as ASUU Begins Indefinite Strike

Students at three Lagos State-owned universities are facing an indefinite interruption of academic activities after ASUU declared a strike over unresolved demands.

LASU, LASUED and LASUSTECH are affected by the industrial action announced by the union’s Joint Campus Group.

ASUU said it had given the Lagos State Government 14 days from August 31 to address its concerns. According to the union, the deadline expired without a concrete plan or meaningful dialogue.

The union had also issued a final warning on September 10, but said the September 13 deadline passed without talks.

Its main demand is for Lagos State to domesticate and implement the December 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement across the three institutions.

ASUU also wants the implementation of welfare provisions, including the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance for serving and retired academic staff.

The union said the strike would continue until negotiations produce a satisfactory outcome. It also urged students and parents to remain calm.

While the dispute has led to a fresh shutdown in Lagos, another ASUU branch has suspended its strike in Plateau State.

The Plateau State University branch reached an agreement with the state government on issues including the 2025 agreement, outstanding arrears, staff accommodation and other demands. Members are expected to return to academic activities from midnight on September 16.

Meanwhile, ASUU at Taraba State University has issued a fresh 14-day ultimatum to the Taraba State Government. The notice runs from September 14 to September 28 and concerns outstanding provisions of the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement.
