Unilag striking unions demand release two comrades

It appears that the striking unions at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) are demanding the release of two of their comrades who have been detained by the authorities.

The striking unions, which include the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the Senior Staff Association of Universities (SSANU), and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), have been on strike since February 2022, protesting various issues including poor funding, inadequate infrastructure, and alleged government interference in the university's affairs.

The unions have been demanding the release of two of their members, who were arrested and detained by the police for allegedly participating in the strike. The unions claim that the arrests are a violation of their rights and an attempt to intimidate and silence them.

The strike has had a significant impact on the university, with classes suspended and academic activities disrupted. The unions are seeking the intervention of the government and other stakeholders to resolve the issues and ensure the release of their detained comrades.

It's worth noting that the strike has been ongoing for several months, and the unions have been engaging in various forms of protest and advocacy to draw attention to their demands. The situation remains tense, and it's unclear when the strike will be resolved.
