Nyesom Wike on Monday, April 14,
asserted that the strike action which was
embarked upon by the Academic Staff
Union Of Polytechnics, ASUP and Colleges
of Education Academic Staff Union,
COEASU would soon be resolved, because
of the intervention of the President, Dr

While answering questions from
journalists, the Minister, Wike assured the
Nigeria general public, that the Federal
Government would soon resolve all
lingering strikes in the education sector.

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics
has been on strike since October 2013,
indicating that in the last seven months,
Polytechnics students have been lectured.

While the Colleges of Education Academic
Staff Union has also been on industrial
action since December 2013.

that students are roaming the street. We
must promise what is practicable. Not
just making promises without fulfilling
them. Be rest assured that it will be
resolved.”

For over 10 months, Nigerian polytechnic
students have been at home. We call on
the Federal government to accede to the
request of the Academic Staff Union of
