ASUU: SSANU, LASU Chapter Vows To Continue Strike

Striking
Senior Staff
Association
of Nigerian
Universities
(SSANU),
Lagos State
University
( LASU),
chapter, on
Friday vowed
that it would
continue
strike until its demands were met.
The Chairman of the chapter, Mr Oseni Saheed,
made this known in an interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
He said that the union was dissatisfied with the
manner the university's Governing Council was
handling the strike.
The unionist also said that SSANU was not satisfied
with some policies introduced by the council.
NAN reports that hundreds of SSANU members had
on Thursday disrupted a meeting of the governing
council with LASU workers.
LASU's chapter of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities was, however, not represented at the
meeting.
Protesting SSANU members had matched from
their secretariat to the university's new auditorium
where the meeting was being held.
The protesters chanted protest songs and carried
placards with inscriptions such as: "No
organisation can develop with poor staff welfare,
we fight for our rights and give us our promotion."
Saheed said that the striking workers had been
denied promotion since 2011.
He said that the governing council had not been
responsive, adding that SSANU members could not
be part of the meeting because they were not in
the right frame of mind.
