ASUP Finally Suspends Nationwide Strike.
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has officially suspended a strike it commenced two months ago.
This is coming after after the Polytechnic lecturers were giving the opportunity to decide on the suspension of the nationwide strike.
The union directed polytechnic lecturers to resume duty from tomorrow, February 13. However, some Poly will resume after the 2019 elections.
The suspension of the strike was confirmed by the national president of the union, Usman Dutse, in a phone interview with PREMIUM TIMES Tuesday evening.
The union embarked on a strike on December 12 over the failure of the federal government to implement agreements reached with the union in 2017.
ASUP went on strike in November 2017. But when it reached an agreement with the federal government to implement the recommendations of the 2014 NEEDS assessment, the strike was suspended 15 days after.
The agreement particularly highlighted the need for increased funding of polytechnics.
