Lautech ends 1 year strike resumes monday
It's great to hear that the 1-year strike by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) is coming to an end. According to reports, the strike is expected to resume on Monday.
For those who may not be aware, the strike was called by ASUP in March 2022 to protest the non-payment of salaries, non-implementation of the National Minimum Wage, and other issues affecting the institution. The strike had a significant impact on the academic calendar and the overall functioning of the university.
The resumption of academic activities is a welcome development, and it's hoped that the issues that led to the strike will be addressed promptly to prevent future disruptions. It's also important for the university management and the government to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to prevent a recurrence of the strike.
It's worth noting that the strike was a major concern for students, parents, and staff of the university, and its resolution is a relief to all parties involved. The resumption of academic activities will enable students to continue their studies, and staff to return to their duties, which is essential for the overall development of the institution.
I hope that the university management and the government will take concrete steps to address the issues that led to the strike and ensure that the institution continues to function smoothly.
