       The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has disclosed
       that it will still go ahead with the planned nationwide strike
       tomorrow December 12th, 2018. This was made known by the
       National President of the union, Usman Dutse,during an interview
       with newsmen in Lagos. Mr Dutse said the strike became necessary
       following the failure of the federal government to implement the
       2009 and 2017 agreements reached with the union.[/font]

       scheduled. Everything is set and there is no going back. He
       mentioned that there is an invitation for a meeting on December
       17, but the union will still commence the strike on
       Wednesday.[/font][font='open sans'][/font][font='open sans']
       “I don’t know what will happen at the meeting or what they have
       decided, but until we meet with them, we cannot predict. ”I
       don’t know what they plan to present until we meet with them,”
       he said.
       Mr Duste said the strike would be comprehensive and total, until
       all issues raised were adequately addressed by the government
       adding that all members have been issued a notice to comply and
       down tools by midnight of December 12. and there would be no
       academic activities in all the polytechnics until further
       notice.
       He listed the demands of the union to include non-implementation
       of Need Assessment reports of 2014 as agreed with the minister
       at the meeting of October 2017.
       Renegotiation in the union’s 2010 agreement; non-release of
       arrears of CONTISS 15 migration for the lower cadre; non-release
       of arrears of promotions and shortfalls in personnel releases as
       well as non-payment of allowances.
       Other agitations are non-payment of salaries in many state-owned
       polytechnics, non-payment of union check off dues, pension
       deductions and other statutory deductions from staff salaries to
       the appropriate bodies, continue victimisation of union
