The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has given its members directives to resume work on Monday May 30, 2022. This came at the expiration of its two- week strike.
The union said its decision was as a result of the government’s positive efforts to meet its demands.
The striking polytechnic lecturers via a statement signed by its national spokesperson, Abdullahi Yalwa revealed that the four of its demands have been met by the government.
The statement revealed that telling its members to resume work was a way of motivating the government to meet the remaining five demands.
The statement reads: “The two weeks definite strike of the union will be rounding off on the 29th of May, 2022 as agreed by the emergency meeting of NEC.
“Consequently, the union is requesting members to resume duties effective 30th of May, 2022 while hoping that government will take advantage of the window to address the five outstanding items.
“Further directives/ updates shall be released after the 103rd meeting of NEC which is scheduled to hold in the month of June, 2022 during which the situation shall be reviewed.”
Recall that ASUP, on May 16, began a two -week warning strike shortly after the resolution of its emergency National Executive Council meeting of 11th of May, 2022.
