Abuja - The Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau, has appealed to leadership of the
Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) to call off its 11-month old strike.
Shekarau made the appeal in Abuja on Thursday when he received the leadership of the
union in his office.
The minister assured speedy resolution of issues that led to the strike, with the
understanding of the lecturers.
The courtesy visit led by ASUP National President, Dr Chibuzor Asomugha, was
Shekarau’s first official assignment as minister.
Shekarau noted that missing a lesson by students could retard their progress and it was
unfortunate that the polytechnic students had missed almost a year.
He appealed to the union to give him more time to study the issues raised while
expressing the optimism that the disputes would soon be resolved.
The minister assured that the Federal Government would keep to its parts of agreements
reached with the union, particularly, on payment of salaries.
The union embarked on the strike over non-release of the white paper on issues in the
polytechnic sector since 2012, among others.
