The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, has suspended its
10-month old strike. The union called off the strike on Saturday 12 July after
its National Executive Council, (NEC) meeting in Abuja.
The decision to suspend the strike, which began in October
2013, was reached after a National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the union
held in Abuja. The suspension comes two days after new Minister if Education,

and give him time to study and resolve the contentious issues.
Shekarau had promised to ensure that the Federal Government
kept all the agreements reached with the union.
Confirming the suspension of the strike, ASUP National
Publicity Secretary , Clement Chirman, said that lecturers as well as students
have since been directed to resume on Tuesday, July 15, 2014.
The ASUP NEC consists of all chapter (polytechnic) chairmen
of the union and the national executives.
