The Academic
Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Kaduna Polytechnic chapter has suspended
its seven weeks strike.
The Publicity Secretary of the union, Abbas
Muhammed, disclosed this in a statement made available to the News Agency of
Nigeria on Thursday in Kaduna. Muhammed said the union suspended the strike
following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the union and
the polytechnic management.
“The payment of some outstanding allowances by
the new Rector, Prof Idris Bugaje, that were allegedly diverted had commenced,”
Muhammed said. He said leadership of the union agreed to give the new rector
the benefit of doubt to resolve the lingering problems of the polytechnic.
The publicity secretary, however, said the
suspension would only last for a period of six months after which the union
will review the agreement with the management and decide on next line of
action.
