ASUP To Begin Indefinite Strike Monday by ajaniepp: 4:17am On Nov 12, 2017
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics has vowed to embark on an indefinite strike with effect from Monday.

The decision was the outcome of the National Executive Council meeting of ASUP held on Saturday at the Kaduna Polytechnic, Kaduna State, ChannelsTV reported.

The industrial action follows the failure of the Federal Government to implement all the agreements it entered with the union since 2016.

The union lamented that despite the long period given to the government to address some of the issues it raised, the government did not consider it necessary to address the demands for improved funding of polytechnic education in the country.

ASUP President, Usman Dutse, and Zone A Coordinator, Kabiru Yunusa, briefed journalists shortly after the emergency meeting which lasted for several hours.

Dutse, who noted that the union had given government sufficient time to implement all agreements, said they had no choice than to embark on an indefinite strike after the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum issued earlier.

According to him, some of the demands include non-implementation of the NEEDS Assessment Report and shortfalls in personnel releases and withdrawal of allowances.

Strike is becoming a very common term in naija.
Infact I doubt anyone graduates from a federal university / polytechnic without experiencing this in some form.

Unfortunate to say the least, that no administration has been able to get to the root of these incessant strikes. All sectors in Naija go on strike, it's seems to be the most used form of agitation.

There's definitely a problem somewhere, ether from the government, the institutions leadership or both.

I would want the federal government to scrap the HND aspect of the polytechnic. Inorder words the polytechnic should only run OND and end it there.

Anyone or student seeking for Higher degree should go to the university and take Bsc or BA program.

I am saying it because HND degree are not even recognised for senior graduate jobs or even admission to masters degree program.

The HND program should be scrapped. Graduates of HND degree should be encourage to go for 2 years Bsc or Btech or BA program to get a full university degree. This will finally end the much talked about HND or Bsc dichotomy.

As for the strike action, I think the federal government is taking too much burden hences there should be devolution of most of its over bloated functions to state.

Very well said. Though I heard in the news many months back that the government was considering / starting this.

It's just na Naija we dey, people will either willingly protest or be paid to.

Just like with JAMB, I expected every Nigerian to support the proposal to extend JAMBs validity.
Reverse was however the case, it was still politicised.
