The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the
Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) have locked the
main entrance of the Lagos State University (LASU) over the payment
of the minimum wage.
The free flow of vehicular movement was hindered by the
protesting members who gathered as early as 7:00 am and prevented
both students and lecturers from gaining entrance.
Those locked out of the school include the Vice-Chancellor of
the University, Professor Olanrewaju Fagboun.

All attempt by the Vice-Chancellor to dialogue with NLC, ASUU,
NASU members was not successful, as they insist that no one will be
allowed into the university premises until their demands are met by
the state government.
They claimed that an increment in their salaries was promised by
the Lagos State government more than a year ago and the promise was
yet to be fulfilled.
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu two weeks earlier
announced that tertiary institutions in the state will be reopened
today, September 14, 2020, after been shut for six months due
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
