LAUTECH Staff Strike Over Agreement Implementation and Entitlements
What happened
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) branch at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology began an indefinite strike on October 29, 2026, after a 14-day ultimatum expired without a significant response from the university management. The strike is a response to the non-implementation of the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement and outstanding staff entitlements. University management and the Governing Council have cited a lack of funds as the reason for the delay in fully implementing the agreement.
