The article discusses the situation in Lagos State regarding the implementation of a new salary agreement for university lecturers. After President Bola Tinubu took office, he initiated reforms in various sectors, including education. A key part of these reforms was an agreement to raise university lecturers' salaries by 40%, starting in January 2026. While many states have already begun to implement this new salary structure, Lagos State has not. The article criticizes Governor Sanwo-Olu for his inaction, suggesting that he is undermining the federal government's efforts to improve university education. Despite Lagos generating significant revenue, the governor remains silent on the issue, which raises concerns about his commitment to the welfare of lecturers. The author warns that if Lagos continues to ignore this agreement, it could lead to negative consequences, such as strikes and disruptions in education, which would affect over 70,000 students in the state. The article calls on the governor to reconsider his stance and ensure that the new salary policy is implemented to support university lecturers and improve the education system.
