ASUP suspend nationwide strike

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has suspended its nationwide strike.
Its national president, Usman Duste, made the announcement on Wednesday during the union’s 14th national delegates conference holding in Bauchi state.
ASUP embarked on the industrial action on November 13 over the failure of the federal government to implement its agreements with the union reached since 2016.
But Dutse said the union was prompted to suspend the strike after the series of meetings it held with the federal government.
“The union considered the suspension to give an opportunity for implementation of the content of Memorandum of Settlement and Action, and shall be reviewed according to the timelines outlined in the MoS,” Duste said.
