ASUP Suspends 10-Month Old Strike… Polytechnics To Reopen Tuesday


In what apparently is good news for polytechnic students across the country and a breakthrough for the newly appointed Minister of Education and former Kano State Governor, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, has suspended its 10-month-old strike.

The strike, which started in October 2013, was suspended today Saturday 12 July at the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the union held in Abuja.


The National Publicity Secretary of ASUP, Clement Chirman announced the suspension and also stated that academic activities would resume in all polytechnics nationwide from Tuesday 15 July. Recall that upon his swearing in on Wednesday, the Minister of Education made his first official assignment on Thursday, a ‘fruitful’ meeting with top ASUP officials.
