The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Lagos chapter, has declared an indefinite strike effective Wednesday over what it describes as “amputated” salaries received in January and February 2026. In a communique signed by Chairperson Idou Kehinde and Secretary Adesina Arikawe after an emergency meeting on Tuesday, the union stated the industrial action will continue until university management accedes to its demands. The strike comes amid ongoing tensions over salary payments and university funding. Details of the specific salary shortfalls and demands are expected to be released.
