Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics
(ASUP) are to continue the ongoing
nationwide strike, as the Monday meeting
between polytechnic lecturers and the
Federal Government ended in a
stalemate.
It will be recalled that the ASUP embarked on
strike from April 29, July 17, 2013 in the first
instance, and resumed the industrial action
in early October, 2013. The lecturers
demand better working conditions,
infrastructure improvement, and ending the
discrimination of polytechnic graduates,
among other things.
The National Publicity Secretary of ASUP,
Clement Chirman, confirmed the deadlock,
adding that the Federal Government's
delegation was led to the Abuja meeting by
the Minister of Labour, Chukwuemeka Wogu.
