  "summary": "The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced an indefinite strike across three state-owned universities in Lagos, following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum from the Lagos State Government. The affected institutions are Lagos State University, Lagos State University of Education, and Lagos State University of Science and Technology. ASUU claims that the strike is a result of the state government's failure to initiate dialogue and implement the December 2025 ASUU-FGN Agreement, which includes the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance and critical welfare provisions for serving and retired academic staff. The union has urged students and parents to remain calm and peaceful while it seeks a resolution to the ongoing crisis.",
