ASUP Threatens Nationwide Strike, Gives 3 Weeks Ultimatum
Another strike in our polytechnics nation wide may be inevitable as the
Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has given the federal
government 3 weeks ultimatum to meet their demands or the union would
embark on nationwide indefinite strike.
This was revealed by the president of the union, Comrade Usman Yusuf Dutse, while addressing journalists at the end of the 83rd quarterly meeting of the national executive council (NEC) of the union in Lafia.
Some of the issues include inadequate infrastructure in polytechnics across the country, inadequate funding and the need for the review of Polytechnics Acts which are outdated.
Other demands include implementation and payment of salary arrears of 2012 consolidated tertiary institutions salary structure (Contiss), 2010 Contiss agreement with the federal government which was mot captured in the 2016 budget as the committee set up to review it in 2014 was yet to submit its report.
He also stated that the government need to bridge the gap The ASUP chairman said government needs to address the issue of university/polytechnic dichotomy and ensure that polytechnic graduates are treated equally with their university counter-parts in terms of promotion and considerations for appointments in the civil service.
He finally called on the government to exclude tertiary institutions in the newly introduced Treasury Single Account (TSA) due to their peculiar nature; stating that the TSA platform is cumbersome.

A Candidate's Open Letter To JAMB's Registrar
May God Terminate my life, if I, ALILI TOCHUKWU CHIDUBEM (Tojesus
Blessed ), Will one day, at any place, by any means, consciously or
unconsciously, by my action or inaction, hesitate to SPEAK the fact that
your presence in JAMB's Office, has brought nothing but total regret,
misfortune , misdirection , and/ or raised many eye brows.
In fact, truth be told Sir, Your tenure so far has remained more or less, Abysmal failure to JAMBITES (2016/17 Jambites specifically), Nigeria parents / guardians , Nigerians In particular and the world at large.
Mr Dibu, Look at the way you have just frustrated 2/3 of 2016 Admission seekers. You have made dunce and Ignoramuses out of many poor but Intelligent Nigerian 2016 admission seekers/ JAMBites, all in the name of your so called " marking scheme or whatever".
Should I talk about how you began this year examination ?? Of course, you will agree with me that your direct or indirect decision to award 40 extra marks to few candidates after the examinations of 27th Feb, 29th Feb, 1st March and/ or 2nd March, in the first place, speaks volume of your purposeless, compromising , barbaric and Non-enhancing-academic-excellence led administration.
This has never happened since the inception of JAMB. You have succeeded in exhibiting &selling your administrative incompetence before Nigerians, Africa & the globe in general. You and your cohorts cannot justify the reasons why many JAMBites are crying every moment, as they check their results.
God will judge you Mr Registrar! You and your caucus have made many Nigerian children to weep. Their parents/ guardians went through hardship to realise the exorbitant money for JAMB registration. Yet, You have allowed political, economic or whatever affiliation, becloud your sense of reasoning, consideration & academic excellence.
Sir, I must confess, You have disgraced Nigerians & posterity will hold you accountable for the demoralization, pain, misfortune, etc you have / is causing Nigerian admission seekers at the moment .
How can someone read all day & nights, follow up your so called new syllabus, pray, fast, sacrificed pleasures , etc, just for you to give such person 130, 170, 140 and many other incredible scores as result ! I am disappointed ! We are Disappointed in you.
Finally, Tell Nigerians & the world why Someone will be getting 20, 30, 40, marks in a subject he or she read thoroughly. You & your colleagues have have killed many Jambites joy this year, But God hasn't.
GOD IS WATCHING YOU SIR.
