The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has disclosed that it will still go ahead with the planned nationwide strike tomorrow December 12th, 2018. This was made known by the National President of the union, Usman Dutse,during an interview with newsmen in Lagos. Mr Dutse said the strike became necessary following the failure of the federal government to implement the 2009 and 2017 agreements reached with the union.

According to him, we are commencing our strike tomorrow as scheduled. Everything is set and there is no going back. He mentioned that there is an invitation for a meeting on December 17, but the union will still commence the strike on Wednesday
“I don’t know what will happen at the meeting or what they have decided, but until we meet with them, we cannot predict. ”I don’t know what they plan to present until we meet with them,” he said.

Mr Duste said the strike would be comprehensive and total, until all issues raised were adequately addressed by the government adding that all members have been issued a notice to comply and down tools by midnight of December 12. and there would be no academic activities in all the polytechnics until further notice.

He listed the demands of the union to include non-implementation of Need Assessment reports of 2014 as agreed with the minister at the meeting of October 2017.

Renegotiation in the union’s 2010 agreement; non-release of arrears of CONTISS 15 migration for the lower cadre; non-release of arrears of promotions and shortfalls in personnel releases as well as non-payment of allowances.

Other agitations are non-payment of salaries in many state-owned polytechnics, non-payment of union check off dues, pension deductions and other statutory deductions from staff salaries to the appropriate bodies, continue victimisation of union officers.

Jubril must go.

That is what you get when you have a clone as a president...
It uses a $322.5m Christmas gift for cows just because an international animal rights group says "treat the animals as your brother"

What am I saying self

So all our institutions are not functioning thanks to Bubu led government?

Maybe ASUU and ASUP are IPOB also?

I remember they said 600 billion was allocated to education in the budget? What happened to it?

This government is a failure, it's a shame they allow this to happen at this time.

G

ok

Nigeria itself should kukuma go on strike becos d govt has also failed to reach to the agreement which they where elected to do.

Five most important things to do after Buhari/APCheat failed:
1. Don't trust them again.
2. Don't listen to their lies again.
3. Let everyone know about it.
4. Don't accept the money they will give during election.
5. Vote against them without thinking twice.

The only way to end strikes in Nigeria's education sector.

1.Increase school fees.

2.Privatise universites,and redirect funding to other sectors...including polytechnics and C of E.

3.Raise taxes to half the income of every Nigerian in return for free education

4.Take another loan.

5.Pray oil goes up to $140 per barrel.

Why? Because he's fixing the damage you people did over 16 years? It's very obvious that you people are only in it for your pockets.

A clone will do much better than corrupt a person.

This doesn't speak well for the government of the day - Their major concern now is how to rig themselves in again next year.

Our progress as a nation is on halt.

No, it is a matter of funding.

We all want to go to university and poly for free...meanwhile, government can only afford to put in 800bn for education in the budget.

Yes, let's cut funding for National Assembly...which gives us N500million at most.

Meanwhile...universities need at least N2trillion naira worth of funding yearly to be up to date....

The problem is bigger than you think...and either we pay high fees, or high taxes...or another loan loading.

Na wa for Nigeria. Our leaders aren't serious.
