The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Zone C has called on the Federal Government to address its demands or face strike action nationwide.
The union comprising of the South-West and Kwara State issued a 15-day ultimatum to FG to address the challenges faced by polytechnics across the country.
According to the ASUP, its members would be embarking on a strike action should the government fail to address the challenges within the next 15 days.
Some of the issues listed by the union include an alleged undue exercise of oversight function and interference of the National Board for Technical Education.
ASUP while urging its members to brace up for the struggle ahead accused the government of not showing enough support for the polytechnic education in Nigeria.
Adekunle Masopa, the ASUP Coordinator of Zone C, while speaking at a press conference said the NBTE has failed to comply with resolutions reached in July 2024 between it and ASUP on the contentious reviewed scheme of service.
Others include undue oversight function and usurpation of the power vested on the Academic Board of various institutions by NBTE with respect to the admission of students into the Higher National Diploma programmes.
It also added that the FG has failed to pay promotion arrears of members for up to five years across Federal polytechnics among many others.
