ASUU issues seven-day ultimatum to LASU The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Lagos State University (LASU) chapter, on Thursday said it had given the institution a seven-day final ultimatum to address its demands. The Chairman of the union, Dr. Adekunle Idris, who made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, said the ultimatum became effective on April 30 and would expire on May 7. NAN reports that the union had on March 24, issued a 21- day ultimatum, which expired on April 13 and another 14-days from April 15 that expired on April 29. The union had contended that the hike in fee had accounted for drop in student enrolment in the institution. The lecturers also expressed dissatisfaction over the “no vacancy, no promotion” policy of the university and the non-implementation of the 2009 University Miscellaneous Provision Act, already operational in other universities. In the fresh deadline, Idris told NAN that the lecturers would embark on a comprehensive and indefinite strike if management continued to ignore the union.
