ASUP President, Mr Anderson Ezeibe, in a statement released on Sunday in Abuja, said that the union’s 97th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting had decided to embark on an industrial action after the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government over its inabilities to meet up the union’s demand.

Consequent upon the inability of government to keep to agreements entered into with our union since 2010 and the avoidable shortcomings associated with payment of February salaries in federal polytechnics, our union’s 97th NEC meeting had resolved to embark on an industrial action.
