FG agrees to meet poly lecturers’ demands.The Federal Government on Monday met with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics behind closed doors and agreed to meet the demands of the union. The Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, and the Labour Minister, Emeka Wogu co-chaired the meeting while ASUP President, Chibuzo Asomugha, led the union team. None of the parties, however, spoke with journalists after the brief meeting held at the Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja. However, a source at the meeting, who confided in our correspondent, said the union obtained a strong commitment from the government. He said, “The union tabled three key issues at the meeting. One is the need to constitute the governing councils of the remaining seven polytechnics. Wike was said to have informed the union that the Federal Government had agreed to constitute the remaining governing councils. He promised that the list would be out by this week and the union was happy about it.(visit Punch 4dtls)
