Strike Update: ASUP To Hold NEC Meeting Today.

The Zonal Coordinator, South-West, Academic Staff Union of
Polytechnics, Mr Ademola Dosumu, said that the union's ongoing strike
would continue until the Federal Government meets its demands.
Dosumu made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria
in Ibadan on Tuesday.
He said that the National Executive Council of the union was expected
to hold an emergency meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.
"The strike is still on but our NEC officials is billed to hold a
meeting where we shall resolve everything related to the ongoing
strike,'' he said.
The zonal coordinator said that until government meets its demands,
lectures would not take place at the various polytechnics in the
country.
"The last meeting held, the Federal Government promised to attend to
four out of its demand, but unfortunately only two were implemented
and until the other two demands are met, lecturers will not go back to
work.
"Part of the demands that was met by the government included the
demand of the constitution of governing councils of Federal
Polytechnics, which has since been done, '' Dosumu said.
The others, he said, included the release of the White Paper on
Visitations to Federal Polytechnics, and the commencement of the Needs
Assessment of Nigerian Polytechnics.
The ASUP Chairman, The Polytechnic Ibadan, Mr Adebayo Phillips, said
that the union directed fresh students to commence registration only.
"The union sent an e-mail to fresh students to commence their
registration and that has been on hence the administrative section of
the institution has been working except the lecturers who are on
strike,'' he said.
Phillips explained that the authorities and the union had peculiar
issues in spite of the ongoing strike, but that the issue was now at a
comprehensive stage.
