The Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU), University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, has elected new officers for its association. The officials were elected following an election that was held on Thursday, July 31, 2025, and monitored by the national executives of SSANU, led by its Vice President (South-West), Dr Abdussobur Salaam.

After the conclusion of the election, Comrade Ademola Rasak Yusuf emerged as Chairman with Comrade Mojisola Monsurat Adebayo as the Vice Chairman, Dr Oluwasanmi Akinyera as Secretary, Comrade Ismaila Idowu Raji as Treasurer, Comrade Amaechi Romanus as Financial Secretary and Comrade Olaotan as Assistant Secretary.

In an interview with Newsmen, Dr. Salaam noted that SSANU had faced prolonged internal conflicts, which left the UNILAG branch without elected officers for years, with acting officials in place. 

In a congratulatory message to the newly elected officials, Mr. Afolabi Akinola, a SSANU member, stated that the election was “historic.” He added, “The journey no doubt has been excruciating … the efficacy of pen, truth, and civility of the Ivory Tower agenda in unionism did the whole game changing.”

The newly elected Vice-Chairman, Comrade Monsurat Adebayo, mentioned that she would support initiatives that catered to the welfare of all SSANU members.
