He said that as soon as he receives full briefing from Ministry officials, he will work towards ensuring that the only outstanding demand of the union, which is the payment of CONTISS 15 arrears is tackled.

Earlier, ASUP President, Mr Chibuzor Asomugha appealed to the new Minister to take immediate steps to settle the CONTISS 15 arrears owed the Polytechnic lecturers so that they can return to
work.

He also complained about the no-work, no pay policy of the Federal Government, saying that Polytechnic lecturers are having a rough time. Meanwhile, seven out of the 21 Federal Polytechnics have resumed for academic work.
Among the 7 Federal Polytechnics is the school of the ASUP President, where his colleagues appear to have lost faith in the protracted strike.
