The Academic Staff Union Of Polytechnics (ASUP) has suspended its 65-day-old strike.
The decision to suspend the strike followed an appraisal of the report indicating the gradual implementation of the items contained in the Memorandum of Action signed between the Union and the Federal Government.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday by the National Publicity Secretary, Abdullahi Yalwa, the suspension of the strike will take effect from June 10.
“The suspension is for a period of three months to enable the government complete the execution of the items contained in the Memorandum of Action signed with the Union since 27th April 2021,” the statement read.
ASUP’s National Publicity Secretary, Abdullahi Yalwa, made the disclosure in a press statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the suspension of the strike would take effect from Thursday (June 10).
ASUP had embarked on a nationwide strike on April 6, to press home its demands.
The union’s grievances include poor state of public polytechnics and monotechnics and non-payment of 10 months’ arrears of the new minimum wage.
The Federal Government had offered to release N15 billion for revitalisation of polytechnics and monotechnics and release money for payment of the arrears of minimum wage.
Mr Yalwa said ASUP suspended the strike in view of the progress made in its discussions with the Federal Government.
