ASUP Strike: Polytechnic lecturers vows to continue 6-months-old strike

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, has vowed to continue with the six months old industrial action because of the irresponsive attitudes of federal government towards Polytechnic education.

Speaking at a world press conference convened in Yola Wednesday, the National Public Relations Officer,ASUP, Clement Chirman said the union had decided to take the struggles to the Northeast to seek the support of the masses on the issue.


He said there was the need for well trained technical manpower to meet the current challenges of technological development posed by global trends. 

He said that since the beginning of the strike by the union last year, the Federal Government has not showed concern over the action.
