The Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Uche Chukwumerije, has expressed disappointment at the Federal Government over their response and unwillingness to negotiate with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) to bring to an end the lingering strike rocking polytechnic education in Nigeria.

He stated this at the committee meeting with the leadership of ASUP, in which the Minister of Education, Minister of Labour and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation were absent.

The leadership of ASUP had narrowed down their demands from 10 to 2 and were willing to call off the strike had it been the Government representatives were at the meeting.

Mr Chukwumerije further encouraged the ASUP leadership to be steadfast in their struggle and see that the education sector in the country doesn’t suffer any longer.

ASUP have resolved to continue its nine months old strike pending the outcome of the meeting with the Senate Committee on Education on July 1.

President of the union, Chibuzor Asumogha, made the statement at the end of ASUP’s 77th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Lagos, adding that a meeting of the committee and some education stakeholders scheduled for June 24 did not hold because no Government official came.

idiot

FG doesn't care abt d strike since half of d poly are still going to sku unlike d ASUU wey close dan all uni's....

A country full of hypocrites! Who would believe that nigerian polythecnics have been shut for 9 months? No mass protests, no tongue lashing of the government, no religious leaders saying ' our children's future is wasting at home'. When the universities shut for only 3 months they all came out bashing the government, insulting those who had their wards in american and european universities. Now the same people who are quick to bash those in foreign schools don't remember to 'save our educational system'

I think the poly lecturer's showed take this man off the sit why fixing a meeting u won't attend making it the second time he is doing this ..I know GEJ has a hand in this...FEDPOLYEDE...

Na wa,oooo

ASUP still on strike? RIP polytechnics
