The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics on Wednesday announced the suspension of its strike.
The union’s National Secretary, Abdullahi Yalwa, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday titled, ‘Suspension of the national strike of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics.’
Yalwa said the union decided to suspend the strike based on the fact the government has started the gradual implementation of the items contained in the Memorandum of Action they signed.
Recall that ASUP had, in a nine-point demand, requested among others, implementation of new salary scheme, revitalisation of polytechnics, the inauguration of the national commission for polytechnics, implementation of new national minimum wage and payment of arrears.
