Kaduna—The Kaduna Polytechnic branch of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, has embarked on work-to-rule action, protesting what it described as infrastructural decay in the institution as well as unwholesome treatment of its members.

“Infrastructural decay has taken a huge toll on us and our prospects of contributing more to our nation’s development are underutilized,” the union said yesterday at a press conference in Kaduna.

According to the ASUP branch chairman, Musa Ibrahim, the school is grossly underfunded and contended further that, “our present status has defied immediate remedies.”

According to him, “we have declared a work-to-rule action for three days beginning from today (yesterday).

“Our members will make appearance in class but will not teach.

“If our grievances are not addressed, we shall proceed on a three-day warning strike after which we shall declare a total shutdown, should the need arise

“Out of over 10 critical areas where we have found our management wanting, the contentious excess workload allowance, in particular, is not beyond the management’s immediate intervention.”
