Polytechnic workers in the country have announced a three-day warning strike from Wednesday, January 22 to Friday, January 24, 2025.
The workers, under the aegis of the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnic (SSANIP), accused the authorities of marginalisation of non-teaching staff members and denial of their deserved career progression.
In a letter dated January 14, 2025, and addressed to the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, the union’s secretary Nura Gaya said the warning strike has become imperative to “emphasise our position concerning the ongoing plot by certain stakeholders to unjustly deprive Non-Teaching Staff of Polytechnics and Similar Institutions of their rightful progression to the peak of their careers on CONTEDISS 15 on the ongoing redrafting of the Polytechnic Schemes of Service”.
