ASUP Vows to Continue Industrial Action

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, has vowed to continue with the six months old  industrial action because of the irresponsive attitudes of Federal  government towards Polytechnic education.

Speaking at a world  press conference convened in Yola  Wednesday, the National Public Relations Officer, ASUP, Clement Chairman said the union had decided to take the struggles to the Northeast to seek the support of the masses on the issue.
He said there was the  need  for  well trained technical manpower to meet the current challenges of technological development posed by global trends.

He said that since the beginning of the strike  by the union last year, the Federal Government has not  showed concern  over the   action.
