POLYTHENICs SUSPENDED STRIKE, ASUP suspends strike July 17, 2013 • By Our Reporter From MARIAM AGBOOLA, Jos and KEMI YESUFU, Abuja The Academic Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has suspended its nationwide strike following the progress it has made in its negotiation with the government and the intervention of the Joint Senate and House of Representatives Committee on Education. The union’s Publicity Secretary, Clement Chairman, in a statement issued yesterday, said the suspension of the strike was to enable the joint committee liaise with relevant ministries, agencies and parastatals with a view to tackling the issues contained in the union’s demands within one month as against the two weeks earlier requested by the committee. ASUP noted that the circular for implementation of CONTISS 15 migration for lower cadres had been released, while much work had been done on the re-constitution of governing councils of Federal Polytechnics which were earlier omitted. The union advised its stakeholders in the negotiation to respect the agreement reached to avoid further disruption of academic activities in the polytechnics.
