Lagos State University ( LASU) students have said they are not in support of the
calls by workers that the Vice - Chancellor, Prof John Obafunwa , be sacked.
The students insisted that they are neither siding the management or the workers.
They said finding a successor for Obafunwa may not address the crisis in
the 31- year- old institution .
The Students ’ Union made this claim, following the allegation by workers that the
university management and certain elements in government are inciting
students against them .
The unions – Academic Staff Union of Universities ( ASUU ) , Non- Academic Staff
Union ( NASU ) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities
( SSANU ) – insisted they are not on strike.

They, however , noted that any attempt by students to create disharmony within their
rank and file may force them to temporarily suspend their services.
“We have noticed that certain elements within the management are scheming to
incite the students against us .
“We are warning that such attempt may compel us to temporary suspend our
services because in such situations, we cannot rule out the possibility of violence, ”
said ASUU -LASU Chairman Dr Adekunle Idris .
“We have information that some students have met with some government officials .
“We have invited the leadership of the Students ’ Union and made them know our
position .
“We want to re -emphasise here that we are not on strike.
