The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Anderson Ezeibe, on Tuesday, have said if the Federal Government fails to meet the union’s demands by June, it may declare indefinite strike action.
Ezeibe disclosed this while addressing members of the union at a meeting held at the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, Ogun State.
Ezeibe urged his members to be prepared for more industrial actions, saying, “the strike is not ending after two weeks, that is the point, and the strike may not even end this year.”
It can be recalled that the union had declared a two-week warning strike after its emergency NEC meeting held last Wednesday over the non-release of the approved revitalisation fund for the sector, the non-release of 10 months arrears of the new minimum wage, and the non-release of the reviewed normative instruments for institution/management and programmes accreditation, among others.
