The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP has announced that it would begin a two-week warning strike beginning from 2nd December , 2024, over the inability of the government to resolve its eleven item demands.


 Cardinal among the demands is the appointment of a Rector in Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State without following the due process and in violation of Federal Polytechnics Act.


President of ASUP, Kpanja Shamnah, made this disclosure yesterday while briefing journalists at the end of its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Abuja.


Recall that ASUP had issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Federal Government and other relevant agencies to immediately review and reverse all decisions inconsistent with the provisions of the Polytechnics Act and other governance instruments in the sub-sector.

 Bassa Youths Connect Initiative: 6,000 Reasons to Smile Across Bassa LGA By EtalityBlog In a powerful display of what happens when young people stop talking and start acting, the Bassa Youths Connect Initiative has just wrapped up a massive educational outreach. Over the course of March 12th and 13th, the group distributed 6,000 exercise books to public secondary schools throughout the Bassa Local Government Area.
