The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non Academic Staff Union of Universities have locked out the Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagboun and students from gaining access to the university premises.
The workers are protesting non-payment of increment in salaries promised by the Lagos State government to its workers more than a year ago.
Recall that the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced that the tertiary institutions in the state be reopened on September 14, 2020. Students in 300 and 400 levels were to resume today with other members of staff that had been off work due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, as early as 7 am Monday, the unions had gathered at the entrance of the University preventing people from gaining entrance.
Attempts by the vice chancellor to plead with the workers to allow peope to go in were rebuffed as the unions insisted on locking the VC and others out.
