Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, Lagos State Polytechnic chapter is set to commence an indefinite strike today.
Arising from its emergency congress yesterday, the union resolved to embark on total industrial action.
Chairman of the chapter, Comrade Akinrinlola Ibitoye, said there won’t be any form of academic activities in the full and part time programmes of the institution during the strike.
According to him, this strike is caused by the institution management’s failure to honour the agreement earlier reached with the Union on the payment of the CONTISS 15 migration arrears which had accumulated to 87 months.
While noting that the Union has explored all peaceful and legal avenues to ensure that the avoidable strike is averted, Ibitoye said in a statement signed by the Union Publicity Secretary, Saheed Jaji, noted that it is still opened to negotiation to ensure that industrial harmony is restored to the Polytechnic and academic calendar is not disrupted.
