ASUP poly lecturers suspend 15-day-old strike
Polytechnic lecturers have suspended a nationwide strike they started on November 13 over failure of government to meet their demands.
Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) told a press conference in Bauchi that the decision to suspend the strike came at the group’s 14 conference in Bauchi after it reached an agreement and signed a memorandum of settlement and action.
The union has previously met with officials and ministries of education and labour, alongside the National Salaries and Wages Commission, Budget office of the federation, office of Head of Civil service and office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
“While we are not unaware of the government over the years to willfully renege on agreements of this nature with labour unions including ours, it is the considered view of our union that the contents of this MoS be given a chance of implementation particularly as there is a mechanism for monitoring and evaluation embedded in the MoS.

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.
