ASUU: Strike will continue in LASU even if the national strike is over – LASU lecturers Hope for students of Lagos State university to resume with their counterpart in other universities as being speculated that the 4 months old strike will be called off seems to be dwindling as Academic Staff Union of Universities, Lagos State University chapter has threaten the state government and the institution’s governing council to continue the industrial action even if the national body of the union call off the lingering strike. Source who pleaded anonymity revealed that part of decision reached at LASU’s chapter of ASUU congress yesterday is that they may embark on its local action, after the national strike is suspended or called off if the university’s Governing Council and the State Government fail to adequately address some of its local issues, which border on members’ welfare and a reduction in the institution’s tuition fees. He said: “It is our resolve at the congress that if the state government and the university’s Governing Council, which is meeting on Wednesday, fail to address our local issues adequately, we shall embark on local actions. “The university management has wasted four months without addressing our local issues, which border on the casualisation of our academic staff, the steep increment in tuition fees paid by students and the non-implementation of the Universities Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 2012, which allows academic staff on professorial cadre to retire at 70 years against the former 65 years.”
