The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has vowed to disrupt domestic and international flights at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja from Monday if the Federal Government fails to reach an agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic Staff (ASUP).

The angry students, who barricaded the entrance of the Federal Ministry of Education, carrying placards with various inscriptions demands for immediate reopening of Polytechnics,and also urged the Federal Government for immediate negotiation to end the lingering strike by ASUP.

President of NAPS, Mr Sunday Asuku, called on both parties to reach a compromise or risk nationwide protest by the students as he said:

“We want the government to call ASUP back to a round table and give them what belongs to them, else by Monday, we will grind the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.”

The protesting students were received by officials of the ministry led by the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba.

Responding, Nwajiuba said everything that had to do with ASUP had been settled by the government.

The Minister said the onus lied with the union to be fair on the students by calling off the strike.

“When ASUP wanted to start this strike, we wrote them and said everything that ASUP requested for has been agreed upon, we do not have one area of disagreement.

“On May 23, we communicated to ASUP and we have given them a catalog of everything that they said we should do that we have complied with.”

I believe ASUP will respond to the Minister's speech soon, Let's wait as we pray for positive results.
