The strike is being coordinated under the umbrella of the Joint Action Committee (JAC), which comprises four unions: the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).
In a letter dated July 31 and addressed to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, the unions declared their withdrawal from all official duties, vowing not to return until their demands are fully addressed.
The decision to down tools was reached during an Emergency Congress convened by the Joint Action Committee.
While full details of the grievances were yet to be made public at the time of this report, sources indicate that the strike is linked to longstanding welfare concerns and unresolved issues between the staff and university management.
The letter—jointly signed by ASUU-LASU Chairman Prof. Ibrahim Bakare, ASUU Secretary Sylvester Idowu, SSANU Chairman Oluwaseyi Lawal, and SSANU Secretary Waheed Majekodunmi—was titled “Notice of Indefinite Strike Action.”
An excerpt from the letter reads:
“Sequel to the decision reached at the Emergency Congress of the Joint Action Committee of the Lagos State University Staff Unions (ASUU-LASU, SSANU-LASU, NAAT-LASU & NASU-LASU) that an INDEFINITE STRIKE ACTION should commence effective from Thursday 31st July, 2025, we write to notify you that the indefinite strike action has COMMENCED in Lagos State University.
The strike action will remain INDEFINITE until all the demands of staff members are met by the appropriate authorities.
Consequently, all staff of the University and its affiliate campuses (LASUCOM and LASU Epe Campus) are hereby DIRECTED to withdraw their services and vacate their duty posts immediately.”
The unions concluded the letter by expressing gratitude for past cooperation while reaffirming their resolve to press home their demands.
National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has said the 2027 presidential election would be concluded by 12 noon if a Peter Obi–Rabiu Kwankwaso ticket emerges under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Tanko made the remark during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, while reacting to comments by ADC chieftain Dele Momodu, who had suggested a possible Atiku–Obi alliance.
Momodu had argued that a pairing of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi could perform strongly in the election, citing their past collaboration in 2019 and Obi’s 2023 electoral performance.
Responding, Tanko questioned the logic of choosing a candidate who might win a primary but lose the general election, insisting that the Obi–Kwankwaso combination would be more formidable.
He further warned that if the ADC fails to zone its presidential ticket to the South, the party risks losing the 2027 election.
Tanko maintained that with Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso on the same ticket, victory would be decisive and swift.
