Polytechnic lecturers have threatened to resume their suspended strike over the failure of the Federal Government to fulfil the April 2021 Memorandum of Action (MoA) signed with them to end their industrial action.

The warning was contained in the communique issued at the end of the union’s 16th National Delegates Conference (NDC), held in Asaba, Delta State, between 6th-10th December 2021.

The lecturers, who are under the umbrella of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) made the communique available to journalists in Bauchi through their Publicity Secretary, Comrade Abdullahi Yalwa.

According to the communique, “The delegates frowned at the government’s failure to fulfil its own end of the bargain resulting from the April 2021 Memorandum of Action (MoA) signed to end the ASUP strike action.

“The NDC renewed the demands for the immediate release of the approved N15 billion revitalisation fund and the 10 months arrears of the minimum wage owed members in Federal Polytechnics.

“The NDC further resolved that, should the Union resume its suspended strike action, the government should be held responsible.

“The NDC condemned the reckless breach of the 2019 Polytechnic Act (as amended) in any Federal Polytechnics from across the country and the failure of state governments to domesticate the Act.

“For this reason, the Conference called on the Institutions to abide by the provisions of the Act and also appealed to State Governments to fast track the domestication of the Act to align the governance of their institutions with acceptable standards.”
