The Supervising Minister of Education, Mr Nyesom Wike disclosed to liveschoolnews.com.ng grapevine that, the government and the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics have made progress towards resolving the over eight months strike.
Addressing reporters in Abuja on Friday, Mr Wike asked
polytechnic students to remain optimistic, as talks is currently on between the
Federal Government and Vice-Chancellor to end the strike.
He however criticised some heads of public institutions over
the internal appointments of vice-chancellors, rectors and provosts in tertiary
institutions which might impede on the growth of the sector in future.
It has been nine ‘long’ months for polytechnic students and
about a year for students in colleges of education who have waited anxiously
for schools to re-open, pending the resolution of outstanding issues with their
academic union.
ASUP had gone on a warning strike in April 2013 to demand a
better salary scale from the Federal Government, among other pressing issues.
The government has apparently taken its time to resolve the
lingering issues at the heart of the strike.
Above all that took prominence at the broad-based meeting is
the issue of security.
The Federal Government has taken steps to straighten out
major grey areas and Nigerians would now be expecting to see a paradigm shift
in the nation’s tertiary institutions to aid development.
