Polytechnics heading for another crisis
Unless the Federal Government moves swiftly to avert the
impending strike by polytechnic workers, students may be heading back home soon
as the unions in the sector brace up for another round of confrontation with
the government.
The three unions (Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics
(ASUP), Non Academic Staff Union of Educational and Allied Institutions (NASU),
and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP) are accusing
the government of refusing to honour agreements reached and doing nothing to
address the grievances that led to its protracted strike (11 months) which was
suspended in July 2014 to enable the Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim
Shekarau, settle down and look into the issues.
