The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has said it will picket and shut down Lagos State-owned universities over the refusal of the state government, the owner of the institution, to implement the FGN-ASUU 2025 Agreement.

The affected institutions are the Lagos State University, LASU, the Lagos State University of Science and Technology, LASUSTECH and the Lagos State University of Education, LASUED.

Briefing the press at LASUSTECH Main Campus in Ikorodu, on Thursday, the Lagos Zonal Chairman of ASUU, Prof. Adesola Nassir, said it was unbecoming of the state government to lag in the implementation of the agreement.

He added that after many letters were written to the state government, ASUU members in those institutions would no longer tolerate the seeming neglect by the state government and would take the next line of action.
