LASU WORKERS CALL OFF STRIKE, 2ND SEMESTER EXAMS FIXED FOR AUGUST 18 - SENATE

The Senate of the Lagos State University says issues that led to the strike by workers have been resolved and the industrial action has been called off. The LASU management said the Joint Action Committee took the decision to suspend the strike after meeting with the Lagos State Deputy Governor, OBAFEMI HAMZAT, which held on Thursday last week. LASU’s Deputy Registrar and Coordinator of the Centre for Information and Public, THOMAS-ONASHILE OLUWAYEMISI, said the committee also approved the resumption of academic and social activities in the university with effect from Wednesday, August 13, 2025. The Deputy Registrar said students are advised to return to the various campuses promptly and prepare adequately for the Second Semester examinations, which begin on Monday, August 18, 2025. “After due consideration of the updates received from the University’s Vice-Chancellor on the said meeting, the Senate said it resolved that: all academic and social activities should resume across the University on Wednesday, 13th August 2025, students should move into their hostels on all University campuses in Ojo, Ikeja and Epe from Wednesday, 13th August 2025, and that the 2024/2025 Second Semester Examinations, previously suspended, should commence on Monday, 18th August 2025. “Students are advised to return promptly and prepare adequately for the examinations,” the statement added. Recall that the institution’s Senate, at its virtual meeting held on Saturday, 2nd August 2025, suspended all academic and social activities in LASU campuses for an industrial action.
