The National President, Academic Staff Union of
Polytechnics (ASUP), Mr. Chibuzor Asomugha, has directed the members of the
union nationwide to commence an indefinite strike from today Friday, October
4.Asomugha said yesterday that the directive became imperative following the
Federal Government’s failure to meet the union’s demands.He explained that two
months after the union had suspended its previous strike; nothing had been done
by the government to address the union's demands which includes the payment of
outstanding salaries.It would be recalled that the decision to embark on the
strike today, was reached on September 28, at the 75th National Executive
Council (NEC) meeting of the union in Bida, Niger State.From ASUU to ASUP,looks
like students aren't leaving home anytime soon. *sigh*
