BREAKING: ASUP suspends strike

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has officially suspended a strike it commenced two months ago.

The union directed polytechnic lecturers to resume duty from tomorrow, February 13.

The union embarked on a strike on December 12 over the failure of the federal government to implement agreements reached with the union in 2017.

ASUP went on strike in November 2017. But when it reached an agreement with the federal government to implement the recommendations of the 2014 NEEDS assessment, the strike was suspended 15 days after.

The agreement particularly highlighted the need for increased funding of polytechnics.
