Polytechnics Lecturers Set To Embark On Nationwide Strike
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP) has scheduled a 14-day warning strike, to commence nationwide on Jan. 4.
The National President of SSANIP, Mr Adebanjo Ogunsipe,
made the announcement in Abuja on Thursday,
while addressing newsmen at the end of the 62nd regular meeting of the General Executive Council of the association.
Ogunsipe said the decision to embark on the strike was taken at the end of the,
meeting because the Federal Government had failed to meet the demands of the union.
The demands of the union include the implementation of the NEEDS assessment,
report and release of funds for the polytechnic sector as well as the release of,
a scheme of service for polytechnic workers.
Other demands are payment of arrears of minimum wage for staff of polytechnics,
and the reconstitution of the governing councils of all federal and state polytechnics, among others.
