Meanwhile, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has commenced an indefinite strike which takes effect from Tuesday, April 5.
According to Daily Trust, the union announced the commencement of the industrial action at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday morning.
Anderson Ezeibe, president of ASUP, said the sorry state of polytechnics, monotechnics, and the expiration of the ultimatum issued since March 2020 prompted the strike.
