Asup Suspends Nationwide Strike by Rapsowdee01(m): 5:46pm On Nov 29, 2017 |
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has suspended its nationwide strike 15 days after the industrial action began. National President of ASUP, Mr Usman Duste, announced this on Wednesday during the union’s 14th National Delegates Conference at the Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic, Bauchi state. He said the decision to suspend the strike followed the series of meetings held between the leadership of the union and the Federal Government. According to him, both parties agreed to a Memorandum of Settlement and Action (MoS) on each of the issues raised by the union. “The union considered the suspension to give an opportunity for implementation of the content of Memorandum of Settlement and Action, and shall be reviewed according to the timelines outlined in the MoS,” Duste said. The decision to commence an indefinite strike was the outcome of the National Executive Council meeting of ASUP which held on November 11 at the Kaduna Polytechnic, Kaduna State. According to the union, the industrial action followed the failure of the Federal Government to implement all the agreements it entered with them since 2016. Some of the demands included non-implementation of the NEEDS Assessment Report and shortfalls in personnel releases and withdrawal of allowances. Others were non-passage of the amended bill of the Polytechnic Act, alleged infractions in the appointment of rectors, as well as improving the conditions of state-owned institutions among other issues. The union had lamented that despite the long period given to the government to address some of the issues it had raised, government did not consider it necessary to address the demands for improved funding of polytechnic education in the country. Dutse had also told reporters after the Council meeting that ASUP had given government sufficient time to implement all the agreements, saying they had no choice than to embark on an indefinite strike after the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum issued earlier. “On October 24, a reconciliation meeting was convened by the Federal Ministry of Labour in Abuja. The ministry in the eye of the storm, the Federal Ministry of Education, was poorly represented that no memorandum of action was agreed on. “This clearly shows the level of disdain and disrespect with which the issues of the sector are being handled by the relevant agencies. In view of the above, our union resolved in its emergency meeting of NEC on October 31, 2017 to commence an indefinite and comprehensive strike effective from November 13, 2017,” he had said. https://www.channelstv.com/2017/11/29/15-days-after-asup-suspends-nationwide-strike/ 2 Likes 2 Shares

I pity members of all these unions. Their Union leaders use them to enrich themselves. When they go broke, they declare strike, Government never meets their demands because they know everyone has a price, besides all Nigerians are corrupt. So they call their ogas and a few brown envelopes exchange hands, then the strike is over. The government buys some time, The Union leaders smile to the bank The members of the union wallow in penury. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

I think they should have gotten what they want before suspending the strike because that is how they tricked we members of MHWUN into suspending our strike with the promise of implementing our demands within 5 weeks, and yet nothing up till now counting about 7 weeks. The only language government understands is strike 2 Likes |

NwaAmaikpe: In 2013, ASUP and the then minister of education signed an agreement that everyone was pleased with, except for salaries and wages commission. The problem with our education system is like that of the old woman who lives in the shoe, too many kids..ie too many schools, limited funding, with looting on top matter |
