The Lagos Zone of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has accused both the Federal Government and the Lagos State Government of failing to fully implement key components of the 2025 FGN-ASUU Agreement, particularly unpaid allowances, salary arrears and welfare entitlements affecting university lecturers nationwide.
The union said the non-payment and inconsistent implementation of agreed financial provisions were deepening tension in the university system and worsening brain drain across institutions.
ASUU stated this at a press conference held at the University of Lagos on Wednesday, where it reviewed the status of implementation of the agreement across federal and state-owned universities in the Lagos zone.
The Lagos Zone covers the University of Lagos, Lagos State University, Lagos State University of Science and Technology, Lagos State University of Education, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, and Tai Solarin University of Education.
Reading the union’s communique, the Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Adesola Nassir, said the implementation of the agreement had remained inconsistent, especially in relation to allowances and outstanding salary obligations owed to lecturers.
