The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has on Wednesday, December 15, threatened to resume its suspended strike over non-compliance of the Federal Government to the agreement signed by both parties in April.

This is coming barely 24 hours after the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) alerted the federal government to embark on an indefinite strike over the non-implementation of the 2009 agreement signed by both parties.
ASUP has demanded that the approved N15 billion revitalization fund and the 10 months arrears of the minimum wage owed lecturers in the federal polytechnics be paid with immediate effect.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the 16th National Delegates Conference held at Asaba, Delta State and made available to journalists by its Publicity Secretary, Abdullahi Yalwa, ASUP also called for the commencement of renegotiation of the 2010 agreement signed with the government.
The union also told Nigerians to hold the federal government responsible if its lecturers resume the suspended strike.
The communiqué read partly;
“The delegates frowned at government’s failure to fulfill its own end of the bargain resulting from the April 2021 Memorandum of Action (MoA) signed to end the ASUP strike action.
“The NDC renewed the demands for the immediate release of the approved N15 billion revitalization fund and the 10 months arrears of the minimum wage owed members in Federal Polytechnics.

“The NDC further resolved that, should the Union resume its suspended strike action, the government should be held responsible.”
