 The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over their unpaid salaries and allowances of several months. In a statement issued by the President of the Union, Anderson Zabe, the Polytechnic Union wants state governments or electorates to pay or face industrial action. The Union also vowed to ensure that all members owed by the government are paid before the expiration of the administration on the 29th of May. Zabe also noted that obvious state was owing electorate salaries for over 40 months. Other states that have refused to honor their obligations include Plateau State or Schultz Bainway, Doe State and Undoe State. Some state governments have continued to play with the livelihoods of staff of Polytechnics in their respective states. Abbey State Polytechnic ABBA, as always, has been the poster of such level of the Religion of Duty by owners of state institutions in the country. Our members in Abbey State Polytechnic ABBA are owed for over 40 months. Other state governments that are culpable include Plateau State or Schultz State, Bainway State, Doe State and Undoe State. Our members are owed backlogs of their emoluments in these states as mentioned. Similarly, our Union's check-up dues are retailed by the Schultz and Undoe State governments. Even with the gradual winding down of most of these Governors, their administrations, they are yet to fulfill their obligations to staff of these institutions. And we think sincerely that this is a very sad commentary on the dispensation of good Governance in Nigeria. Our Union comments renegotiation of its 2010 agreement since 2017. This is not good for industrial relations in our country and, of course, it violates every non-tenant of collective bargaining principles.
