Report has it that the two-week ultimatum issued the Federal Government will expire on Monday.
,,,,,,Chairman of ASUP, Federal Poly, Offa, Dr Atilola Moses Idowu, disclosed this to newsmen in Ilorin on Friday.
He said a resolution to this effect was taken in line with the directive of the national body of the union at the congress of the union’s chapter held on Thursday in Offa, Offa Local Government Area of Kwara state.
,,,,,,,The union asked the NBTE to withdraw the new scheme of service for polytechnic lecturers or risk a strike.
,,,,ASUP, raised concerns in some areas of the new scheme which required amendment, including dichotomy against HND holders in other cadres, allowing at least one skipping for all cadres as it is done other tertiary institutions in Nigeria and not elongating the waiting period for all promotions beyond three years.
