The industrial strike that was announced on August 2, 2025, has been called off by the various unions that make up Lagos State University’s (LASU) Joint Action Committee. The resumption of academic and social activities at the university with effect from Wednesday, August 13, 2025, was also approved by the institution’s Senate during its meeting on Monday, August 11, 2025.
Oluwayemisi Thomas-Onashile, the Deputy Registrar/Coordinator of LASU’s Center for Information and Public Relations, said in a statement on Monday that the decision was made after a meeting with Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, on Thursday, August 7, 2025.
The statement read, “The school management, after due consideration of the updates received from the Vice-Chancellor on the said meeting, Senate 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.
“The 2024/2025 Second Semester Examinations, previously suspended, should commence on Monday, 18th August 2025,”
Additionally, it recommended that students return on time and study well for the tests.
Recall that the Senate suspended all academic and social activities at the institution at its virtual meeting on Saturday, August 2, 2025, in response to the Joint Action Committee of Staff Unions’ declaration of industrial action on Thursday, July 31, 2025.
