We are particularly saddened by the fact that our Union had embarked on a strike to compel the Federal Government to constitute the Councils of the Federal Polytechnics. What we have at hand today is the flip-side of our good intention as most of our Councils have emerged as purveyors of threat to industrial peace and harmony in our Polytechnics.
He said in view of these developments and also in view of the failure of Government to honour agreement with the union, ASUP resolved that at the expiration of the two weeks ultimatum the Union has issued to Government beginning from 11th February, on the pending issues, ASUP shall embark on an indefinite strike action until all the ongoing anomalies in our Polytechnics are addressed and the 13 point demand pending before Government implemented.
It also urged Federal Government, without further delay dissolve the Governing Councils of the Federal polytechnics Oko and Ado Ekiti as they have become burdens rather than solutions to the myriad of problems bedeviling the sector. ASUP also want the circular issued by the Ministry of Education suspending the implementation CONTISS 15 Migration be withdrawn with immediate effect as the suspension is ill-timed and counterproductive and will create further tension in the sector, and that Managements and Councils of Polytechnics in Nigeria must desist from interfering in ASUP activities in their Institutions and stop forthwith the intimidation of staff who insist that proper things be done.
On the development on politics, the union described as unfortunate the ongoing political transition in the country, stressing that it is perplexing that our experience at democracy in Nigeria has not provided enough lessons to enable us avoid the flaws of previous years. Despite the benefits of democratic governance, our political class has continued to inflict the polity with inordinate actions and utterances which are only overheating the system and creating state of anxiety.
The recent postponement of the general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC on grounds of insecurity is an indictment on the part of our security agencies and the government at large. It is also worrisome that INEC has also failed to conclude the distribution of the PVC, thereby endangering the chances of eligible voters in participating in the coming elections.
These are negative images our country is creating for itself and to a large extent belittling itself before the comity of nations. The postponement of the elections has further brought to question the integrity and competence of our security agencies and our ability as a nation to deploy appropriate actions to confront challenges.
ASUP condemns the use of religion and tribal affiliations and other forms of primordial sentiments which are capable of disintegrating the nation as tools for prosecuting campaigns in the forth coming elections. As the situation stands today in the polity, violence is being promoted through unguarded utterances and conducts of our politicians- thereby posing threats to the peaceful co-existence of the nation.
