The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) University of Lagos branch will on Wednesday embark on a strike over the payment of amputated January and February 2026 salaries.
The decision to down tools was taken at an emergency congress held yesterday over the salary issue.
Daily Sun reached out to an executive of one of the non-academic unions, who confirmed that their members were paid full salaries for the two months but revealed that the February salary was paid late (Monday).
The union said the university discriminately paid an amputated salary in January and February to members in Akoka campus (without EAA) and Idi-Araba campus (without EAA and CATA).
ASUU alleged that the university also unilaterally and wickedly paid an amputated February salary to members in both campuses.
According to the union, the recent action of the university management violates the tents of decency and clearly portrays the university administration as wicked, unfeeling and satanic.
ASUU UNILAG branch said based on the subsisting pre-NDC NEC resolution, it rejects in entirety the recent action that resulted in members receiving amputated January and February salaries as against what happened in other federal institutions of cognate status like UNILAG.
The ASUU UNILAG congress resolved to “withdraw our services effective Wednesday 11th March 2026 since the university has failed to pay our January and February salaries in full as at 9th of March 2026.
“The withdrawal of services by our members will be in force until the university pays in full all our members January and February 2026 salaries.”
Efforts to reach the university Communication Unit did not yield result as Daily Sun calls to the head of the unit went unanswered.
