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.
Meanwhile, the university management has extended the resumption time for the students to Wednesday, June 1.
