ASUP GOES ON STRIKE

Mar 20, 2021  University


According to The Guardian, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), said unresolved issues with the federal government and some states prompted their planned strike.  ASUP in a communiqué signed by its president, Anderson Ezeibe, accused the government of failing to pay 10 months arrears of the new minimum wage owed its members.
The President said: 
‘’There is the need to implement the contents of the NEEDS Assessment report of 2014 in public polytechnics and similar institutions. “’ Another issue also is the reconstitution of Governing Councils in all federal polytechnics and some state-owned polytechnics where such is yet to be constituted. “Others are the full implementation of the provisions of the Federal Polytechnics Act, as well as its domestication in Adamawa, Kano, Sokoto, Abia, Niger and other affected states.’’ The association said its members are prepared for a full-scale showdown until their demands are met.
