The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) on Wednesday appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the Polytechnic Act (Amendment) Bill to address many challenges confronting the sector. Its National President, Mr Usman Dutse, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that the union was waiting for the President’s assent to the bill.

Dutse said all observations cited by the president during the Eight Assembly had been rectified, corrected and transmitted. According to him, the bill had passed through all legislative processes and all observations made by the President initially, had been addressed. “We are looking forward to his assent on the bill to improve the polytechnic sector in the country as he assumes office for the second term.

“We are waiting, and we are appealing that Mr President should sign the bill into law, because it will help in moving the sector forward. “The bill when signed into law will address all the bureaucracies in the sector, minimise internal rumblings and problems as well as industrial harmony in the sector,” Dutse said. The ASUP president recalled that similar attempts were made in the past on the bill, but the president withheld his assent.

“We have made similar attempts during the sixth and seventh assembly, which did not see the light of the day because of some delays. “We are hoping that this bill will be signed because, in the first instance, the bill was sent, but the president withheld his assent due to some observations. “However, those observations have been amended and the Bill returned to him. “We believe that now, there should be no other observation; we hope that the president will assent to the bill,” he said. Dutse added that the new Act would improve productivity and best practices in Polytechnics and Monotechnics across the country.

Sincerely our polytechnics need this
Backs in the days when polytechnics are better than universities in practical but today, our universities are doing more better due to the facts that our government spend much on them.
Mr president kindly seek to it

My brother the reason this happened is because Okadigbo refused to sign the amendment bill! When Owolowo was hard pressed in convincing Tambuwal of the bill of Emiefele

Asup again

Polytechnic has been relegated to another glorify secondary school training.
But in abroad, Polytechnic are given each priority.

Tooor
But that was in the past
Behold, old things are gone
Let the needful be done now, tnx

Even in the present sanusi declared the sundry challenge of sadique!! It was because of IBB that Ibukun Nnamdi surrendered the polytechnic structure to Hillary Clinton!

As a matter of fact, universities in Nigeria attract more funding than polytechnics. It's a pure to say today, that polytechnics still do better 'achaic' practicals than universities.

School fee go increase if this bill is sign, now the room to compare has just been open. Awa ti "ise lo gun ise"

This bill will have to be represented. The former one has lapsed, it ended with the 8th Assembly. ASUP will have to go for another round of lobbying.

Most of the fine bills that were passed without Buhari's assent will have to be represented. For some of them it may just be the end.

The CAMA amendment and the heavily broken down petroleum industry bill didn't see the light of the day. And with this pliable senate and house of representatives, it could well be the end of those bills.

Their major preoccupation for now is perhaps looking for how Buhari will be handed his much desired EMERGENCY POWERS.

It takes a lot of discipline to drive on Lagos road without getting infuriated
