The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has slammed a two-week ultimatum on the Federal Government over some unmet demands.
The ultimatum is expected to commence on 7th October and elapse on 25th October 2024, following which the union may decide to down tools.
ASUP President, Shammah Kpanja, handed down the ultimatum on Thursday, after the Union’s National Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
He said these pending demands necessitated the 111th NEC session where members met to review the current status of engagements with proprietors of public polytechnics, colleges of technology, and monotechnics in the country.
Kpanja listed some of the grievances bothering the union to include alleged impunity and disrespect of clear provisions of the Federal Polytechnics Act, different edicts establishing state-owned institutions, and other instruments of governance in the sector.
