The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo Chapter, on Tuesday vowed to continue its month-long strike, until its demands are met. The union’s Chairman, Saheed Oseni, told NAN in Lagos, that the decision to continue with the strike was taken at the union’s congress on 23 June.
NAN reports that the union had embarked on an indefinite strike on 26 May, to press home some of its demands.
They are demanding for the repeal of the “no vacancy, no promotion” policy of its management, a reduction in the tuition fee hike and the implementation of the 65 years retirement age policy. Oseni said that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the union, at its meeting on 19 June, pledged to support the union in its struggle for the implementation of its demands.
“SSANU National had sent representatives of the union to the management in February to dialogue on why the management should do the needful, but to no avail,” he said. Oseni regretted that the management and the Governing Council of the institution did not invite the union for discussion since the strike started.
