The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) staged a protest at the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo on Wednesday disrupting the proceedings of the institution's 19th convocation ceremony.
.
The SSANU members, who defiled the heavy security presence on campus, held the university management team to ransom moments after they marched out of the convocation arena.
.
They carried placards with inscriptions, such as "No more maladministrationin LASU;" "Pay us our June and July salaries;" "Obafunwa is killing LASU" and "Our salary is our right."
.
The protesting workers marched to the major road on campus and blocked it with their Toyota bus, an action that caused heavy traffic in the institution for more than three hours.
,
It took the intervention of the institution's Registrar, Oladapo Lewis, who addressed some of the SSANU members led by their Chairman, Mr. Saheed Oseni, at the Administrative Block of the university, to agree to end the agitation on Wednesday.
.
They, however, vowed to continue the protest on Thursday during the second leg of the convocation as the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola is expected to inaugurate some projects on campus same day.
