ASUU-LASU Congratulate Ambode Signing LASU Amendment Law 2016, Profs To Retire At 70yrs

The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi #Ambode, has amended the Acts establishing the Lagos State University, #LASU, Ojo, to accommodate the 70-year retirement age for staff of the institution in the professorial category and 65 years for other category of workers.

The new development, which is in response to the demand by the Academic Staff Union of Universities ( #ASUU ), will now put to rest the recent crisis ignited by the notice of retirement issued to some professors, who are about to clock 65 years of age by the university management.

According to a statement issued yesterday by the institution’s Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, the university commended the governor for acceding the staff request.

#ASUU-LASU while reacting to this congratulate her members on thus:

Dear Comrades, we confirm to you that we are in receipt of the LASU (Amendment) Law 2016. Academic staff in the PROFESSORIAL CADRE shall now retire at age 70yrs; and Non-academics at 65yrs. Law signed by the Governor and dated Jan 5, 2016. We congratulate our Professors and trust that they will make the Union proud. The Union makes us strong.

Victory is certain!

Up #ASUU-LASU. Up LASU!! Up Ambode!!!
