The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Kaduna Polytechnic Chapter, Comrade Abubakar J. Abdullah, says the union will shut down all polytechnics nationwide by December 2 due to the Federal Government's failure to meet its members' demands.
According to him, on October 6, 2024, the union leadership issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, outlining pressing demands aimed at resolving the systemic challenges that hinder the progress of polytechnics. He added that the government had failed to address the issues.
