ASUP disgruntled over unpaid salaries, sack of 200 Abia Poly staff and IPPIS Implementation delay

The academic staff union of Polytechnics, ASUP has described as barbaric the action of the Abia state government for disengaging two hundred staff, despite owing them between thirteen and seventeen months salaries

while threatening to proceed on nationwide strike should nothing is done on the matter and in other institutions where teachers have been sacked, also described the current constitution polytechnics governing boards as an error and irregularity as it runs contrary to the new polytechnic act

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, newly elected ASUP president  Anderson Ezeibo said the anxiety among poly teachers have been uncomfortable due to governments non-chalant attitude towards the renegotiation of 2010 FG/ASUP Agreement

On the contentious integrated payroll and personnel information system, IPPIS, ASUP said it is unfortunate that the sector specific framework agreement reached which  encouraged poly teachers enroll on the platform is yet to be implemented

On the crisis rocking federal polytechnic, Bida, ASUP president said the issues are been resolved and the ongoing strike by workers will be suspended before the end of next week
