ASUU declares indefinite strike in LASU, other Lagos varsities

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared a total and indefinite strike across three state-owned universities in Lagos: the Lagos State University (LASU), Lagos State University of Education, and Lagos State University of Science and Technology. The decision to strike was made after the union's 14-day ultimatum to the Lagos State Government on August 31, 2026, expired without a satisfactory resolution or concrete plan.

The union's primary demand is the full domestication and implementation of the December 2025 ASUU-FGN Agreement across all Lagos State-owned universities, including the implementation of the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance and critical welfare provisions for serving and retired academic staff. The strike has been approved by the ASUU national leadership and aims to rescue the state's education system.
