The Lagos State Government has approved the demands of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of University Staff Unions, following the strike action initiated on Friday, December 6, 2024. The unions, which include ASUU, SSANU, NASU, and NAAT, had presented their requests through the university management to the state government.
The Steering Committee considered the demands and submitted recommendations, which were approved by the Lagos State Executive Council (EXCO) as follows:

That the Lagos State Government (LASG) will bear half of the total sum of *N209,876,162.7 (Two Hundred and Nine Million, Eight Hundred and Seventy-Six Thousand, One Hundred and Sixty-Two Naira, and Seventy-Five Kobo)* being the shortfall in respect of the increment in the wages of its workforce, both academic and non-academic staff.
b. That the total sum of *N104,938,082.38 (One Hundred and Four Million, Nine Hundred and Thirty-Eight Thousand, Eighty-Two Naira and Thirty-Eight Kobo)* will be the addition to the monthly subvention of the Lagos State University, Ojo.
2. *Incorporation of the new salary structure*:
a. *Harmonisation of Salaries*: Salaries of the three state-owned universities have been harmonised to be the same for both academic and non-academic staff.
b. *Salary Increment*: Implementation of 25%/35% salary increment.

The university management expresses gratitude to the Lagos State Government for its swift action and commitment to the welfare of university staff, ensuring the sustained growth and development of the institution.
