BREAKING: Polytechnic lecturers commence an indefinite strike

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics has initiated an indefinite strike with consequence from today.

According to the PUNCH, the union said this followed the failure of the government to address the sorry state of polytechnics and monotechnics and the expiration of the ultimatum issued in March 2020.

The action is coming less than a week after resident doctors embarked on a nationwide strike over non-payment of allowances and other issues.
