The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has postponed its planned strike to December 2, 2024, to allow the Federal Government to address its concerns.
This comes after a resolution meeting between stakeholders convened by the Education Ministry on October 23.
The union’s demands include resolving abuses of laws, improving staff welfare, and addressing infrastructure and promotion issues. If the government fails to act before December 2, the strike will commence.
ASUP’s National President, Comrade Kpanja Shammah, made the disclosure in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja
He said: “The Union’s NEC therefore met again on an emergency note on the 24th of October 2024 to review the action plan as proposed in the meeting with the stakeholders and determine the next steps in its struggle for the survival of Polytechnic Education in the country.
“After exhaustive deliberations, the Union resolved to defer its proposed industrial action to the 2nd of December, 2024.
“The decision was taken to gauge the government’s commitment to implementing the action plan as agreed at the meeting of 23rd October, 2024.
“It is therefore the expectation of our Union that government will take advantage of the period to show commitment by diligently executing the action plan on each of the eleven items of dispute or risk a comprehensive withdrawal of service by academic staff in the Nigeria Polytechnic System.”
