The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has deferred its nationwide industrial action till December second, 2024, to allow the Federal Government meet its outstanding demands.
Recall that ASUP had on seventh of October 2024 issued a two weeks ultimatum to government asking it to meet the existing demands some of which bordered on alleged intrusion of the NBTE into the statutory responsibilities of Academic Boards of Polytechnics on matters of Higher National Diploma students’ admission.
Others include revitalization of infrastructure in the sector through the NEEDS assessment intervention, non-implementation of promotion in state institutions, payment of all outstanding promotion arrears among others.
In a statement yesterday, ASUP noted that it had issued the mandatory fifteen days ultimatum to the proprietors of public polytechnics and colleges of technology arising from a review of the state of affairs in the sector during the one hundred and eleventh meeting of the National Executive Council of the Union.
