The Academic Staff Union of Universities at the University of Lagos has suspended its strike hours after the industrial action began on Wednesday.
The decision followed a meeting between the lecturers and the university administration led by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Development Services), Prof Foluso Lesi, on Wednesday morning, as well as a resolution reached at the union’s congress later in the afternoon.
The UNILAG branch of ASUU had on Tuesday directed its members to withdraw their services effective Wednesday in protest against what it described as “amputated” salaries for January and February 2026.
The union had accused the university management of failing to pay the Earned Academic Allowance and Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance for Research across the Akoka and Idi-Araba campuses in January, as well as the Consolidated Academic Teaching Allowance and professorial allowance for February.
