ASUP
President, Anderson U Ezeibe, told repeorters at the end of the 99th meeting of
the National Executive Council of the union at Hassan Usman Polytechnic,
Katsina the industrial action was informed by six key factors affecting
polytechnic education.
He
stated government has consistently failed to address them over the years.
The
issues, according to him, include non- implementation of ASUP/FG agreement of
2010, non-payment of salaries and arrears of the new minimum wage in some
state-owned Polytechnics, among others.
While
also admitting a meeting with the Federal Government has been held in October 2020
on some of the pending issues, the union however insisted the outcome of the
meeting was a write off as government failed to implement the resolutions
reached
The
union further listed 10 conditions under which the proposed April 6 industrial
action may be called off to include: Implementation of the NEEDS Assessment
report of 2014, reconstitution of the Governing Councils of Polytechnics,
release of Promotional areas in federal Polytechnics, among others.
