The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) has called off the 10 month old strike and has ordered all polytechnics nationwide to resume on Tuesday, 15th July, 2014.
The ASUP strike was called off at the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the union held in Abuja, following an agreement reached by the ASUP management and the new minister for education 2 days ago.
All polytechnic students are by this notice advised to get ready to resume school ASAP.
The ASUP leader said: “The decision to call off the strike is in consonance with the demand of the new Minister of Education, Alhaji Abrahim Shekarau, to allow him study our demands.
“All ASUP is asking for is that government makes commitment on when and how the issues will be resolved.” He did not state whether the Federal Government has however made any commitment before the suspension of the strike.
ASUP went on the strike on October 4, 2013 to press the Federal Government to accede to its 13-point demands which include the release of the White Paper on the Visitation to Federal Polytechnics.
