ASUP Strike: Lecturers Threaten Fresh Action Again Buhari Govt

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has threatened to embark on a one-week national strike over alleged failure of the Federal Government to implement the agreement reached withe the union recently.

According to the New Agency of Nigeria (NAN), recalled in early February, suspended its two-months industrial action over non implementation of the federal government.

Mr Chris Nkoro, ASUP National Publicity Secretary, said the decision was taken during the 94th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the union, held from Monday to Friday at the Shehu Idris College of Health Science and Technology, Makarfi, Kaduna State.

Nkoro did not, however, say when the planned strike would commence.

“The union views the persistent lethargic disposition of the Federal government and its agencies towards re-negotiation of FGN/ASUP agreement as a ploy to cripple the system and perpetuate suffering on members.

“The NEC urges the federal government to without further delay, commence the re-negotiation process.
