Arewa youths ask Education Minister to resign Angered by the prolonged strike by academic staff of polytechnics in the country, Arewa youths on Tuesday called on Education Minister, Prof Ruquayattu Rufa’i, to resign with immediate effect. The youths, under the aegis of Arewa Youths Forum, AYF, issued the warning while reacting to the worsening crisis in polytechnics across the country. National President of AYF, Alhaji Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu, told Vanguard that it was unbecoming of the education minister to continue to behave as though nothing was happening, many months after academic activities had been brought to a standstill. Gujungu noted that the action of the minister was not only a setback to the north but also Nigeria and should, therefore, be made to give way in the interest of the nation. “As the umbrella organization of all youths in the north, we are not only angry but also surprised with what is going in the educational system in the country and the polytechnics in particular,” AYF lamented. “This is because after many months of strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, the Federal Government and in particular, the Minister of Education is carrying on as if nothing is wrong with the sector. “On behalf of youths of northern extraction we are calling on the Minister of Education to immediately call the polytechnic lecturers to the negotiating table or resign. “We believe this has become necessary in view of the fact that our contemporaries in the polytechnics have been at home for so long and the minister under whose jurisdiction the polytechnics fall into has failed to bring the strike action under control. “The minister’s action shows a high level on incompetence and we believe that she is not fit to hold such a sensitive position in Nigeria and should therefore be shown the way out,” AYF said. The youths said the issues for which the teachers had gone on strike were germane and should be addressed by the government to give polytechnic education the needed bite as obtained in other parts of the world. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/06/asup-strike-arewa-youths-ask-education-minister-to-resign/ |

Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) in their 74th National Executive Council Meeting has declared the continuation of the almost two-month industrial action insisting that the federal government must implement the agreement reached with them in 2010. The National President of ASUP, Mr. Chibuzo Asomugha, made this disclosure at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra state, venue for the executive council meeting. The academic body has been agitating for the non-constitution of Governing Councils of Polytechnics, Monotechnics and Colleges of Technology. They are also agitating for the non-release of white paper of the Visitation Panels to the Federal Polytechnics, non-commencements of the NEED Assessment of the Nigerian Polytechnics and the non-creation of a National Polytechnics Commission. They paid a courtesy call to the Rector of the Polytechnic, Professor Godwin Onu, where the National President observed that “the period was indeed a trying time for ASUP” but maintained that “the union would no longer fold its arms and watch the polytechnic education drown”. Prof. Onu sympathized with the union but pleaded with them to relax on their position. Recall that government’s inaction in solving the union’s problem in spite of persistent complaint had resulted in a seven days initial warning strike that commenced on April 22nd. It was followed by the present indefinite industrial action. |

THIS IS WICKEDNESS National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has in a voice vote demanded for continuation of its ongoing three-month-old industrial action until the Federal Government does its own part of the bargain. ASUP blamed the President Goodluck Jonathan-led Federal Government for the closure of polytechnics nationwide and keeping of the nation’s youths in their parents’ houses for over three months having failed to honour an agreement it willingly entered with the union in 2010. It, therefore, urged the president to intervene now before matters become unmanageable. Despite the plea by the host of the meeting, the Rector Federal Polytechnic Oko, Prof. Godwin Onu and the students of the Polytechnic on the visiting NEC members to call off the strike as the Federal Government is now ready to listen to their agitation, NEC gave a resounding No to resumption of academic activities until the 12-point issues raised are resolved. The strike, ASUP NEC noted, would end immediately the Federal Government agrees to do what is honourable and right in accordance with the agreement it made with ASUP since 2010. The union wondered why the Federal Government would intervene immediately in issues concerning Colleges of Education and Universities but would not give attention to that of Polytechnics. “So all hope is not lost on the calling off of the strike before the end of our NEC meeting depending on the intervention of Mr President… There is no end for the strike in sight; so our students should be patient so we can remove the ceiling on their progression in service and entry point,” said the National President of ASUP, Comrade Chibuzo Asomugha. He lamented that there are Commissions for Universities and Colleges of Education as well as other lesser institutions but none for the Polytechnics, wondering why the Federal Government should shift the goal post at the middle of the game by reneging on the agreement it signed in 2010 and only to diligently implement the agreement it entered with other categories of tertiary institutions. “The level of engagement is irreversible and inevitable but there is light at the end of the tunnel …we want to come out stronger from the strike. There is no monetary benefit for us in what we are asking for but we are saying that we deserve respect for what we can do. “We have begged the students who besieged us here to plead with us that they are tired of staying at home to have a little patience because we are ready for a very long drawn battle with the Federal Government on the strike. “ASUP is not ready to call off the strike until the Federal Government does what is right because our agitation is not for ourselves but for the betterment of the Polytechnic education in Nigeria. ASUP is not known for strike but the Federal Government is disrespecting Polytechnic lecturers. We are not renegotiation with the Federal Government,” the union leader said, insisting that the agitation of the ASUP are in line with “Non commencement of NEED Assessments of the Nigerian Polytechnics as done for the Universities and other Institutions.” He lamented that the problem of the Polytechnics is from the Polytechnics Act. Traditional Ruler of Oko, Prof Laz Ekwueme, had during a courtesy call on him by the union urged the ASUP NEC members to challenge their colleagues to stop indulging in all acts unbefitting to their calling as lecturers. Similarly, the Chairman of ASUP, Federal Poly, OKO chapter, Dr Onyeka Uwakwe, enumerated the advantages of having a Commission for the Polytechnics and thanked the Rector of the Polytechnic for hosting the 74th NEC. |

Re: ASUP Strike by OPEYEMIAD(m): 4:09pm On Jul 03, 2013 |
The Senate yesterday waded into the face-off between the federal government and polytechnic teachers, who have been on strike for the past three months. ASUP had proceeded on an indefinite strike on April 29 to compel the government to implement the agreement it reached with the union in October 2009. Among the demands of ASUP is the implementation of the agreed consolidated tertiary institutions' salary structure (CONTISS). Worried by the lull in the nation's polytechnics, the Senate Committee on Education yesterday held a closed-door meeting with polytechnic lecturers and relevant ministers where during which they appealed to the lecturers to call off the strike and return to the classroom. They also asked the federal government to implement the agreement it had earlier reached with them. According to a source at the meeting, which had in attendance Rufa'i and her counterpart in Labour and Productivity Ministry, Chief Emeka Wogu, the lecturers accused the government of not establishing governing councils in all the polytechnics as earlier agreed. He said the lecturers alleged that the trend had created a situation where the affected institutions are run by cartels. He added that the lecturers complained of the dichotomy in salary structure in polytechnics and universities. According to him, the committee observed that if some polytechnic lecturers now hold doctoral degrees, it might not be totally out of place if they were equally remunerated like their university counterparts. |
