LASU Suspends Remittance of Check-Off Dues to ASUU

The Lagos State University (LASU) has announced the suspension of the remittance of check-off dues to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). This decision was made by the university's management, citing the ongoing strike by ASUU as the reason.

According to reports, the university's management has directed that all check-off dues collected from staff members be kept in a separate account until further notice. This move is seen as a response to the ongoing strike by ASUU, which has been ongoing since February 2022.

The suspension of remittance of check-off dues to ASUU is likely to affect the union's ability to fund its activities and operations. Check-off dues are a mandatory deduction from the salaries of university staff members, which are then remitted to the union.

The decision by LASU management to suspend the remittance of check-off dues to ASUU is seen as a way to exert pressure on the union to call off its strike. The strike has been ongoing for several months, with ASUU demanding better working conditions, improved funding for universities, and the implementation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement.

It remains to be seen how this development will affect the ongoing strike by ASUU and the negotiations between the union and the federal government.
