The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Lagos State University of Science and Technology ( LASUSTECH ) chapter has restated its commitment to the revatalisation of public university system,.
Speaking during a press conference held at the Ikorodu campus of LASUSTECH, the ASUU chapter led by its chairperson, Comrade Yisa Oluwatoyin Anthonio reaffirmed its resolute commitment to rescuing Nigeria’s public university system from collapse.
According to Anthonio, the union noted that its struggle transcends salary disputes, focusing instead on securing the future of higher education as a cornerstone of national development.
Anthonio explained that ASUU’s prolonged battle, spanning over a decade, emanated from the Federal Government’s failure to implement the 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement.
”This pivotal accord addresses critical issues, including fair remuneration, adequate funding for research and infrastructure, and the preservation of university autonomy and academic freedom.
