Federal Government concerning the fresh
industrial action which began on Friday, 4
October, 2013.
Asomugha, who made this disclosure in a chat
with P.M.NEWS Campus Square, explained
that there was a meeting between the union
members and representatives of the Federal
Government before embarking on the strike
action on Friday. He noted that the Federal
Government allowed the strike re-surface
despite their discussions.
“We had a meeting with representatives of the
Federal Government in Abuja on the same
day
that we embarked on the strike action.
“So, we can say that they purposedly allowed
the strike action to take effect since they did
not take any ‘tangible’ step to stop us
whatsoever,” Asomugha noted.
Her maintained that the union hopes to hear
from the Federal Government today
(Thursday) since that was what they promised
the striking lecturers.
“We are waiting for them to make a
pronouncement on Thursday because that was
what they told us. It’s going to be made
public
by them and everybody will see whether they
can be trusted by their words or not.
“The union hopes to call off this strike as soon
as possible but if our demands are not met,
it’s
a pity that everything may yet fall on deaf
ears” he added.

" Personally i believe all the union wants is
recognition and partial fulfillment of their
agreement by the federal government &
they'll be good to go...

The state at which we the people &students,
(social medias,Federal government,State
governments,Politicians & Journalist) are
neglecting ASUP & its on going strike is very
Sad,Fearful & heart-breaking.
It has come to a stage where students of the
polytechnics are looked upon as inferior &
minors..

I wish to sate clearly that i as a person,as at
this moment i don't care if u rate the
University higher than the Polytechnics or
College of Education higher than the poly all
is ASK is that the FG should honorably do the
NEEDFUL.......

Many call the polytechnics Advance
secondary Schools which breaks my heart a
lot ,,,,ok YES or NO whether its an Advance
secondary school or not the federal
government should be in a better position to
answer that...wait a second,,, if its even an
advance secondary school owned by the
government,is the government that
irresponsible to neglect its own institution ??

The federal government should pls intervene
on this issue or if the FG does not want the
poly anymore they should simply scrap it &
leave the present & future students to the
harsh reality...
Enough said,I hereby use this medium to
challenge all polytechnic student that have
been on ghost mode / quiet on this issue to
speak up
now,,,,NANS,,,AMACOS,,,SBMS,,NUJ,,PARENTS & SOCIAL NETWORKS.

Its with heavy heart that i write this to my
fellow students & the world ,We the Students
of the Nigeria Polytechnics are not f.ools,not
minors & definitely not a bunch retards.......I
challenge you all to SPEAK now or REMAIN
QUIET FOREVER.



A great Nigeria Student::::::::::::::MAPOLY
