The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced a total and indefinite strike at three state-owned universities in Lagos State following the government's failure to meet their demands. The affected institutions are Lagos State University (LASU), Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), and Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH).
The strike was declared on Tuesday, following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the Lagos State Government on August 31, 2026, without satisfactory resolution or a concrete plan. The union's statement, signed by Olusegun Babalola, Acting Chairman Grac Abimbola, and Chairman Murisiku Onigemo, highlighted that the action was taken with a "heavy heart" and urged students and parents to remain calm, peaceful, and law-abiding.
ASUU claims that the strike is a "rescue mission for Lagos State education," and they have the full backing of the ASUU national leadership.
