- LASU also urged its students to disregard any notice directing them to resume for lectures amidst the ongoing strike

The Lagos State University has urged its students to disregard any notice directing them to resume for lectures amidst the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Spokesman of the university, Ademola Adekoya, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the information was a lie and handwork of mischief makers.

“Similar information was released for Ladoke Akintola university students some days ago. Kindly disregard the information as it does not emanate from the office of the LASU Registrar,’’ he said.

A notice had gone viral on the social media recently directing all students of the university to resume for academic activities on Jan. 8.

The notice had claimed that the management of the university at its meeting of Jan. 3, said all students be notified of the commencement of academic activities including course registration and lectures.
