The Federal Polytechnic oko Chapter of ASUP has warned all its members not to go against the indefinite strike that will begin on Monday 13th of November, 2017. In a less than 2 hours emergency meeting, the Chapter chairman, Godson Okeoma who said he was obeying a national directive set a committee that would see to the abeyance of all the union’s activities. He said the committee would be a violent one and would not hesitate to force out any member out of the school environment. He warned that no HOD or any Academic staff should be sighted within the school environment for any reason whatsoever apart from those dropping their wards inside St. Augustine primary school. In his words “No member should be seen around the school environment except those on school run of their wards. We all are monitoring team. We shall assemble at the school gate to observe a press conference with local Channels. Any member who wishes to join can come out to join the monitoring committee in the school. If you are at home then you are doing the best monitoring of yourself.” Those who are yet to defend their project or finish their final examinations were also advised by the union to go home until any year the Federal Government decides to hearken to their demands.
