ASUP JOINS STRIKE

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, has commenced an indefinite strike, starting from Friday, October 4.
ASUP is asking for the removal of the dichotomy between HND/University graduates in placement and career progression; constitution of an effective and functional governing council for polytechnics; a white paper on visitation panels to polytechnics and a much-needed...

assessment of polytechnics.
The strike is expected to commence fully in polytechnics across
Nigeria from next week Monday.
The polytechnic lecturers had earlier in the year embarked on a
strike, for the same reasons. The strike lasted almost three months
and was suspended on July 16 after the intervention of federal
lawmakers. The lecturers say the government has not made concrete
efforts since then to address their demands.
A similar nationwide strike by university lecturers is in its fourth
month as the lecturers, ASUU, demand a full implementation of the 2009
agreement they had with the federal government.
