Polytechnic workers suspend seven months strike.

The Nasarawa State Polytechnic chapter of Non
Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (NASUP), on
Wednesday suspended its seven months-old-
strike.
The Chairman of the union, Mr David Ayitono-
Goshi announced the suspension in Lafia while
briefing journalists on the outcome of the meeting
they had with the management of the polytechnic.
Ayitono-Goshi said that the suspension followed
the intervention of respected personalities who
pledged to pursue the union’s grievances to the
appropriate authorities.
“We have been on strike for seven months now,
but when the new members of the governing
council came on board, they requested that we
should appeal to the national headquarters of the
union to suspend the strike.
“They also assured that they will continue with the
negotiation from where it stopped,” he said.
The chairman said that the suspension was
“conditional”, as the union would resume its strike
if the state government fails to address the issues
within six month.
He directed all members of the union to resume
work immediately.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
already some members of the members have
complied with the directive, as they were seen in
their places of work. (NAN)
