Academic Staff Union Of Polytechnics Issue 21-days Strike Notice To FG

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has threatened to go on strike after 21 days if the Federal Government fails to address some issues bedeviling the polytechnic education system in Nigeria.

ASUP issued the ultimatum during its National Executive Council meeting at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra on Thursday, October 10th.

The resolution was entitled “Renewed Threats to the Survival of Polytechnic Education in Nigeria: The Position of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics”.

The National President of the union, Usman Dutse, said the polytechnic system which had the mandate to provide training and research services for the nation’s ailing economy should not be allowed to die.

Dutse said some of their grouse included attempts to forcefully entitle ASUP members into the Integrated Personnel Payroll System, non-implementation of the Federal Polytechnic Act 2019 amendment and confined victimization of union officers.

The national president said 49 chapters of the union attended the NEC meeting out of the 52 chapters in the country.

He said others were ASUP/FGN 2010 agreement, renewed efforts at objectionable insertions in the review process of the scheme of services for polytechnics and violations in the implementation of the 2017 MoU signed with the government.

“Our union has reviewed the above situation as well as the refusal of government to respond to several correspondences on the issues captured above, we resolve to rise up to the occasion once again in defence of the sector.

“The unions NEC is hereby issuing a 21-day ultimatum to the government to address the issues listed satisfactorily or risk the indefinite withdrawal of services by our members nationwide.

“As a follow up to this, all organs and chapters of our union are to begin mobilisation for engagement as we pursue this onerous task of rescuing the sector from imminent collapse,” he said.

UNIABUJA Sex for Marks Scandal : Another Nigerian Lecturer Caught Pants Down

A dean of one of the science-based faculties of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) is currently under investigation for soliciting sex to award marks to one of his female students.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was when the senior univeristy lecturer was set up in a hotel in Gwarimpa area of Abuja, where he had gone to have an affair with the student.
According to Daily Trust, the student who was being disturbed by the faculty dean for sexual relationship, had reported the matter to the university’s security unit as well as the police.
The dean would fail the student in a course he was taking unless she agreed to have sex with him.
The security agents were said to have asked the lady to play along, which led to the professor booking a hotel room in the highbrow Gwarimpa quarters to sleep with the student.
“The dean was caught pants down in the hotel room trying to have sex with the student,” the source said.
This online news medium understands that although the university community falls under the responsibility of Lugbe Police Station, the sting operation and the arrest was handled by the police station in Gwarimpa.
“He was taken to the police station that night and made to give a statement,” Daily Trust quotes the source as saying.
The source said the university was keeping the scandal under wraps which was the reason it did not go public since.
“Very few in the university know this has happened between the dean and his student and that is why other details of it are not available.”
It was gathered that the incident may have happened about four weeks ago when the students of the institution were taking first semester examinations for the 2018/2019 academic session.
Students resumed for the second semester last Monday after a two-week break that followed the exams.
The Chief Security Officer of the university, Ibrahim Abdullahi Buga, could not be reached as his phone was switched off.
But a source in the security department confided that the management of the university had set up a committee to investigate the alleged sexual assault on the student.
The acting Information Officer of the university, Hajiya Maryam Mohammed, while confirming the setting up of the committee said the staff in question had been queried.
“You know the man in question has been issued a query as a panel has been constituted to listen to him in order to give him a fair hearing.
“That’s where we are right now because we have to wait for the committee to do something about it.
“So I cannot tell you anything again until the committee finishes its work and as soon as there is anything, I will let you know,” she added.
Also commenting on the alleged act, the Federal Capital Territory police commissioner, Bala Ciroma, confirmed that the police had received a report of an alleged sexual assault from a female student of the institution.
The commissioner said the FCT police are investigating the matter.
