The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has given the Federal Government 21 days to resolve its outstanding demands or face a nationwide strike across public polytechnics and monotechnics.
Speaking in Abuja after an emergency meeting of the union, ASUP President, Comrade Shammah Kpanja, accused the government of insincerity and deliberate neglect of promises made to the union over the years.
“Our ultimatum has become necessary because issues that directly affect staff welfare and the credibility of polytechnic education have remained unresolved for years despite repeated assurances,” Kpanja declared.
