The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) branch, has commenced an indefinite strike over the alleged failure to implement the Federal Government-ASUU agreement and settle outstanding staff entitlements.
The strike reportedly took effect at midnight on Thursday, October 29, 2026, following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued by the union.
ASUU had demanded the implementation of the December 2025 agreement, payment of consequential salary arrears, settlement of outstanding Earned Academic Allowances and payment of promotion arrears owed to academic staff.
The union said its decision followed unsuccessful efforts to resolve the issues through discussions with the university management and the Oyo State Government.
As part of the industrial action, members have been directed to suspend lectures, examinations, laboratory activities, meetings and other academic engagements.
The development is expected to disrupt academic activities at the university, particularly its Ogbomoso campus, as students and staff await further developments.
ASUU has maintained that the strike will continue indefinitely until its demands are addressed.
