LASU VC, students locked out as ASUU, others protest
The vice chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU), Prof. Olanrewaju Fagboun, and students have been locked out as the university resumes.
Daily Times reports that this was as a result of protest by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, Non-Academic Staff Union, and the National Association of Academic Technologists.
According to the Punch, members of the unions stood at the gate and prevented members of staff from gaining entry into the University at 7am.

They were protesting non-payment of the salary increment promised them by the Lagos State Government over a year ago.
They claimed that other Lagos State workers had received the increment but all the tertiary institutions in Lagos State were yet to be included.
Fagboun made attempts to appeal to the unions but they didn’t oblige him.
The protest by the unions is holding across tertiary institutions in Lagos State.
The Lagos State University had announced resumption dates for the different levels of its academic programs.
