The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has reversed its
decision to commence a strike action on Wednesday following “fruitful”
negotiations with the Minister of Education Ibrahim Shekarau and the
House of Representatives Committee on Education.
The union had a two-hour meeting with Shekarau starting from 11am
and ended another meeting with the education committee some minutes
to 7pm on Tuesday.
Public Relations Officer of ASUP Comrade Clement Chirman in a
telephone interview with Daily Trust after the meeting at the National
Assembly said the negotiation team of the union will relay the outcome
of the meetings to ASUP’s national executive council.
The union had protested a circular issued by the education ministry
suspending the implementation of CONTISS 15 for polytechnics and
alleged ill treatment of unionists in Federal polytechnics Oko in
Anambra State and Ado-Ekiti in Ekiti State.
Chirman said the minister withdrew the circular at the meeting and
declared the actions of the two polytechnics null and void, while
promising to look into demands which border on improved funding of
polytechnics and staff welfare...source:www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/news/47829-strike-hope-rises-as-asup-meets-fg-reps

I trust ASUU they will tell them they have to relay the information to their people that will take another one month.
