ASUU PROTESTS LASU LECTURERS’ DISMISSAL TODAY
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Lagos Zone, will hold a rally today, Tuesday, in support of five dismissed lecturers of the Lagos State University, Ojo.
A letter of invitation made available to PUNCH Online on Monday said they were illegally dismissed by LASU.
The letter reads, “This is to respectfully invite you to the National Day of Solidarity Rally in support of five of our members illegally dismissed from service by the inept, inglorious and vindictive an administration at the Lagos State University, Ojo.”
The rally will commence by 10 am.
In 2019, the university’s management dismissed several ASUU members, including Isaac Oyewumi, the union’s chairman; Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu, vice chairman; Dr. Tony Dansu, secretary; Adeolu Oluwaseyi Oyekan, assistant secretary; and Oluwakemi Aboderin-Shonibare, treasurer.
The university asserted that accusations of unauthorised removal, retention, distribution, or publication of official confidential documents led to the dismissal of the lecturers.
However, previous reports revealed that the affected lecturers had refuted the allegations.
