Despite the directive by the Lagos State
University Management that students and lecturers of the institution
should resume on June 23, no academic activities has resumedin the
school yet.
And the reason for this
is not far fetched as the Academic staff said their requirements have
not yet been met. The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities,
SSANU Lagos State University, LASU, Ojo Chapter vowed to continue its
month-long strike, until its demands were met.
They
are demanding for the repeal of the no vacancy, no promotion policy of
the university’s management, a reduction in the tuition fee hike and the
implementation of the 65 years retirement age policy.
AdekunleIdris,
branch chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities, LASU, said, “As
it is known, ASUU-LASU went on strike for three demands. It is not only
for school fee and even the school fee demand has not been met. Our
demands are reduction of fee to N50,000 across board; abrogation of no
vacancy no promotion policy; and the implementation of the University
Miscellaneous Provision Act of 2012.”
He
added that, “Our members did not go to the classroom for these reasons.
Our congress will meet to review the fee reduction but the strike
continues. The management has not taken any action on any of our
demands. Students can resume but our members will not teach.”
