LASU ASUU Confronts Management Again Over Closure of the Institution

The Lagos State University Chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has confronted the management of the institution over refusal to announce resumption of academic activities.

Reacting in a statement signed by the union’s chairman, Comrade Adekunle Idris, the union said that the management announced a break and ordered students and staff out of the school without indicating any resumption date.

The union stated that the open-ended recess attributed to the general election is not only unwarranted but also a disruption of the academic calendar.

“The shutting down of activities in the university, when other institutions are undertaking academic activities, is an act of impunity that will adversely affect our students – the main purpose for which the university exists. By law, only the senate of LASU has the prerogative to adjust the academic calendar and declare a recess. This has not been done by senate”.

The Union condemned the action stating that there was no breakdown of law and order to warrant the suspension of academic activities in the school.
