The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has declared that it would begin an indefinite strike from December 12. This implies that the polytechnic lecturers will join their university colleagues who have been on strike for a month now. The National President of ASUP, Usman Dutse, said the federal government had failed to meet the demands of the polytechnic lecturers which borders on need for increased funding of polytechnics.
ASUP had earlier in October 2 issued a 21-day ultimatum to the government before it extended it to November. But even then, it did not commence the strike.
