The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has threatened to join the industrial action embarked on by the Academic Staff Union Of Universities (ASUU) if issues in the polytechnic sub-sector are also not addressed.

The union made this known in a statement issued by its Secretary General, Anderson Ezeibe.

ASUU embarked on an indefinite strike to protest the breach of its 2009 and 2013 agreements they had with the Federal Government. Ezeibe said ASUP is in full support of the indefinite strike because the strike is aimed at restoring sanity to Nigerian universities and the education sector.

He decried the ease at which government breaches agreements entered into with trade unions, particularly in the education sector.

He said: ”ASUP notes the renewal of hostilities on the country’s university campuses between ASUU and government of Nigeria.

”While we are in unconditional solidarity with ASUU in this struggle to restore sanity to Nigerian universities, we are calling on the government to commence without further delay the implementation of agreements entered into with ASUP to forestall an impending crisis in the polytechnic sub-sector.”
