Polytechnic Lecturers May Go On Strike Anytime Soon

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) are threatening to go on strike after issuing a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government.

The Union says Polytechnics across the country will be shut down if the FG continues to continue to intimidate and force its members into the IPPIS payment platform without first securing their emoluments.

ASUP according to the Nation also accused the government of not keeping faith with the memorandum of settlements signed with the union in 2017.

In a statement made available in Abuja the National President of the Union, Usman Dutse said the union has no choice but to give the 21-day ultimatum since the FG refuses to implement its memorandum of settlement.
