No Going Back On Strike, ASUP Insists

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has insisted that there is no going back on its strike action billed to commence on Tuesday, April 6.

ASUP President, Anderson Ezeibe, accused the Federal Government of insensitivity, saying despite receiving the union’s notice of strike, the government has failed to reach out to members with a view to resolving the controversial issues.

Polytechnic lecturers had threatened to embark on strike from April 6, over what they described as unresolved issues with the Federal Government and some states.

Ezeibe lamented that the issues facing polytechnics in the country had lingered for too long and required urgent attention.
