FG/ASUU deal: UNILAG lecturers begin strike over salaries

UNILAG

Lecturers of the University of Lagos have withdrawn their services effective Wednesday to protest what they described as “amputated” salaries for January and February 2026.

The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, UNILAG chapter, Prof Idou Keinde, while speaking with The PUNCH, said the lecturers at a congress on Tuesday resolved to continue to down tools due to the university’s failure to implement the 2025 Federal Government/ASUU agreement that took effect January 1, 2026.

Keinde said, “We are withdrawing our services from tomorrow (Wednesday) morning until our salaries are fully paid.”

“The Federal Government and ASUU signed an agreement effective January 1, and our salaries have not been complete since then, with the UNILAG administration paying amputated January and February 2026 salaries.” Punch
