The Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, has halted the remittance of check-off dues for its lecturers who are members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The university Spokesman, Mr Ademola Adekoya, revealed this recently.
Adekoya said that remittance of the dues into the Union Bank accounts would remain suspended, until when the management and operation of the account(s) would be properly looked at.
He said, “In the circumstance, the vice-chancellor, in the exercise of his supervisory and general responsibility to council to maintain good order in the university, has directed the immediate suspension of remittance of check-off dues of members of the union.
“The remittance of check-off dues into ASUU-LASU bank accounts remained suspended pending when the management and operation of the account(s) are properly regularized.”
The university spokesman said the management’s decision happened after they received a petition signed by about 70 per cent of the ASUU-LASU members.
According to him, the petition pointed at the union erstwhile Chairman, Dr Isaac Oyewunmi being part of those presently operating the bank account of the union, even while he is a staff of another university.
