While answering questions from journalists, the acting Minister of education in Nigeria, Wike had assured the Nigeria general public, that the federal government would soon resolve all lingering strikes in the education sector.
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics has been on strike since October 2013, which is making it pure 7 months since Polytechnics students have been lectured. While the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union has also been on industrial action since December 2013.
The acting minister of education, Wike said and we quote him directly “No government will be happy that students are roaming the street. We must promise what is practicable. Not just making promises without fulfilling them. Be rest assured that it will be resolved.”
We hope that the strike gets called off and all students return back to their classrooms. Best wishes to all Polytechnics Students in Nigeria.
