ASUP reveals why Nasarawa Polytechnic lecturers are IDPs
Hussaini, has disclosed that lecturers in Nasarawa State Polytechnic
are Internal Displaced Persons, IDPs.
Hussaini hinged his reason on the inability of the authorities to
build offices in the institution.
He made this known to newsmen on Monday shortly after holding meeting
with the management of the institution over their on-going strike
embarked upon by the union last week.
The chairman said the union decided to embark on strike following
inability of the management of institution to pay retirees their
entitlement, lack of offices for lecturers to occupy, inability of
management of the institution to accredit some courses in the
institution.
According to him, "We decided to embark on strike because our
lecturers are IDPs; they did not have offices, our retirees are not
being paid, lack of accreditation of courses by the institution, and
our promotion is still hanging.
"We are not fighting anybody but we are fighting the system to work
well; if we don't ensure that this thing should stop then we do not
know where we are heading to. Government gave College of Education
money for their accreditation; College of Agriculture have finished
their accreditation; which sins did Nasarawa State Polytechnic commit?
"The past suspended management asked students to pay N400,000 for the
processing of the accreditation but up to date we have not heard
anything and where is the money and what is government doing about
it," he asked.
Hussaini called on government to as matter of urgency do something
about the three tertiary institutions in the state for academic
excellence in Nasarawa.
