ASUP To Begin Indefinite Strike November 13.


The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics ( ASUP ) is set to set out on an inconclusive hit activity with impact from Monday, November 13, 2017 to press for the usage of its concurrence with government, blaming government for treating polytechnic instruction with despise and levity.

Ascending from the crisis meeting of its National Executive Council, ASUP said it must choose between limited options than to set out on an inconclusive strike after the lapse of its prior 21 days final proposal, including that the propitiatory meeting sorted out by the Federal Ministry of Labor neglected to deliver positive outcome in light of the fact that the Ministry of Education was not keen on settling the question.
