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).
Spokesman of the university, Mr Ademola Adekoya told the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the information was a lie and
handwork 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 Jan. 8.
The notice had claimed that the management of
the university at its meeting of Jan. 3, said all students be notified
of the commencement of academic activities including course registration
and lectures.
NAN also reports that ASUU had on Nov. 4, 2018
embarked on what it described as a ‘total, comprehensive and indefinite
strike’ to press home some demands from the Federal Government.
