The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has given the federal government from now to end of December to implement outstanding agreements or to face ‘a decisive action by January’.
Speaking yesterday after the 86th National Executive Council meeting held in Kano, the president of the union, Usman Y Dutse, said since 2009 the union reached an agreement with the federal government on some of their demands which had not been implemented.
The president also called on the federal government to bring out the white paper on the needs assessment exercise conducted on the polytechnics so that a road map would be drawn for developing polytechnics.
He also urged government to intervene in the case of staff of state polytechnics whose salaries were not being paid. “Some states have not paid up to seven months salaries of their staff. I want to state that very soon we shall stop their service until they are paid,” he said.
