The College of Medicine of the
University of Lagos, has announced the suspension of hostel accommodation
exercise and closure of students’
hostels.
In a notice on Friday, the
management asked the students to vacate their hostels latest by Monday as a
result of the ongoing strike action by the Academic Staff Union of University
(ASUU).
The strike began in November.
“This is to inform all the
students of the College of Medicine and the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of
Lagos, Idi-Araba, that the Management has directed that the hostel
accommodation exercise should be suspended until further notice,” the notice
read.
“In light of the above, it has
also directed that the Medical students’ hostel be closed and students should
vacate their hostels latest by Monday, 4th February, 2019 in view of the
ongoing ASUU strike.”
ASUU and the federal government
have been at loggerheads since the union
commenced its strike action on November 14, 2018.
Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU president,
had said the strike was “indefinite and comprehensive” unless the federal
government agrees to their demands.
In January, Chris Ngige, minister
of labour, had said the federal government had released N163 billion to
universities from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) after a meeting
with leaders of ASUU.
But Ogunyemi, had said there were
still some grey areas in the proposal presented by the federal government.
