The University of Lagos (UNILAG) acknowledges the numerous calls, messages, and expressions of concern from members of the University community and general public following the recent announcement by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), UNILAG Chapter.
The University wishes to clarify that UNILAG is not on strike. The planned industrial action by ASUU, UNILAG Chapter, which was scheduled to commence on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, was suspended on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, prior to its commencement.
