The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has put its members nationwide on red alert as the 15-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government and its relevant agencies lapses on Friday.
The Zone C Coordinator of ASUP, Comrade Mosopa Adekunle Nurudeen, made this known during a press briefing at Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic, Ijebu-Igbo, on Monday.

He also criticized the non-implementation of the resolutions reached at the tripartite meeting convened by the Federal Ministry of Education between the National Board of Technical Education and ASUP.
