Academic activities at the Lagos State University are to resume on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, following the decision of the Joint Action Committee of Staff Unions in the university to call off its strike.
The strike was embarked upon on Thursday, July 31, 2025 to protest issues bordering on poor remuneration.
The announcement of the commencement of academic activities followed the decision of the Joint Action Committee, JAC, of the labour unions in the university to call off its industrial action on Tuesday.
In a statement by its Deputy Registrar/Coordinator, Centre for Information and Public Relations, Oluyemisi Thomas-Onashile, the university said the meeting by the committee with the deputy governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, on Thursday, August 7, 2025 was considered productive, hence the decision to call off the strike.
