The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP has called on the Federal government to pay outstanding arrears of its members as contained in the Memorandum of Action signed between the union and government in April 2021.
This was contained in a statement issued yesterday by the ASUP’s National Publicity Secretary, Abdullahi Yelwa, and made available to newsmen.
The statement frowned at the delays in the release of the approved N15billion Revitalization Fund, non-payment of salaries to its members and non-commencement of the renegotiation of the 2010 agreement.
It added that members of the public should hold the government responsible in the event of breakdown of industrial harmony, adding that the union and its members had shown considerable patience and restraint.
