LASU to students: Disregard resumption notice, strike still in progress

The Lagos State University (LASU) has urged its students to disregard any notice directing them to resume for lectures amidst the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Ademola Adekoya, spokesman of the university, told NAN that the information was untrue, noting that it is the handiwork of mischief makers.

“Similar information was released for Ladoke Akintola university students some days ago. Kindly disregard the information as it does not emanate from the office of the LASU registrar,’’ he said.

NAN reports that a notice had gone viral on the social media recently directing all students of the university to resume for academic activities on January 8.

The notice had claimed that the management of the university, at its meeting of January 3, said all students be notified of the commencement of academic activities including course registration and lectures.

ASUU had on November 4, 2018, embarked on what it described as a ‘total, comprehensive and indefinite strike’ to press home some demands from the federal government.
