The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has stated that it will embark on a nationwide strike from August 22,
as a result of the Federal Government refusal to honor its agreement with it.

ASUP President, Mr Usman Dutse, who disclosed this on Thursday at the end of the Zone A emergency meeting of the union in Kaduna State, northwest Nigeria, said the union will commence the industrial action, if the Federal Government fails to honour the agreement it reached with it in 2013.
He said that since the suspension of the protracted strike in 2014, the government is yet to address some of the core issues that necessitated the strike.
Dutse urged the government to as a matter of urgency, address these issues in order to avoid another nationwide industrial action.
A communique read by the Zone A Coordinator of ASUP, Kabir Yunusa, noted that no significant progress has been made by government in resolving the issues.
The statement highlighted the issues to include the non-implementation of Needs Assessment Report of 2014, non-payment of salaries in many state-owned institutions, delay in the review of the Polytechnic Act and poor funding of polytechnics among other demands.
The ASUP President said that despite giving the government enough time when it came on board last year to settle down and address all pending issues, the present administration has showed no concern about the plight of lecturers, whose salaries were being reduced or owed in most federal and state polytechnics.

“He who is not courageous to take risks in life will accomplish nothing.”. It is well!!!

This country ehn, strike again BT to me I Dont see anytin special in all Di's claims, let the ASUP chairman also consider the interest of the polytechnic student, he shouldn't turn their 2 years into 3 years, ah I am tired of these country

Story remains the same despite change in government.

Yeye

I tink they should bring back our kwaraption we like it, in fact we love it

Nah wa o

What's this country turning into?

The Nigerian government should prioritize polytechnic education in the scheme of things. In fact, polytechnic education should be funded to take the nation to an enviable height lyk what we have in advance country.why dollar is sky rocketing against the naira is because the Nigerian government has ignored technical education

Buhari sef

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

"Nelson Mandela"

Leaders all over Africa are hell bent on destroying education in Africa. Then they send their children to western countries to return and take over from them while we continue with our microwaved education that yields nothing.

We have money to steal, but no money to invest in education.

A nation is only as developed and educated as it's citizens. But In Africa, no way!

Na wah oh

Abi nau, its all about personal interest now not minding how others will feel about their actions.

Its well!

They had an agreement with Jonathan's administration and thought it would be honoured? The ineffectual buffoon was just out to share money to his cronies. You should have known that.

You need to negotiate new terms now. The crooks are out of office.
