The Federal Government (FG) has cancelled the planned meetings with the members of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) slated for today (Thursday).
As gathered by EKO HOT BLOG, the cancellation was confirmed by the spokesperson, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mr Charles Akpan, noting that the meetings had been shelved.
He, however, failed to disclose the reason behind the cancellation of the meetings meant to get the polytechnic lecturers and judiciary workers call off their indefinite strike action.
The polytechnic lecturers are demanding the implementation of the 2014 NEEDS Report, the release of revitalisation fund to the sector, reconstitution of governing councils in federal polytechnics and state-owned institutions, among other demands.
JUSUN, on the other hand, is asking for financial autonomy for the judiciary and the implementation of Executive Order 10 signed by President Muhammadu Buhari in May last year.
Polytechnics and courts across the country had been shut down following the strike action by the lecturers and the judicial workers.
