LASU Closes Down Indefinitely Due To Union Issues

This is definitely not the best of times for the Lagos State University, LASU, Ojo as it has been closed down indefinitely.

The inability of the government to meet the demands of its staff union including the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU,  Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, and National Academic Staff Union NASU has caused this.

According to reports, the closure, might also be due to the crises that had been rocking the 30 year old institution with the unions being at loggerheads with the VC over several issues.

Some of the demands of the staff unions include, the appointment of an acting vice-chancellor to preside over the convocation that would have been held last week and right the wrong allegedly done by the Vice-Chancellor, John Obafunwa’s including the victimisation of its members, withdrawal of certificates of lecturers and abuse of due process by the university’s management.

However, the Public Relations Officer, Ronke Osho, said the student and staff recess is in view of the forthcoming national and state elections scheduled for March 28 and April 11, respectively, although a date of resumption is yet to be announced.
