The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has rejected the newly reconstituted governing councils of Federal Government-owned polytechnics.

In a statement signed by ASUP’s President, SHAMMAH KPANJA, the union expressed dissatisfaction with the new list of appointees.

According to the union, persons with the requisite knowledge of the workings of the sector should be appointed. 

Such persons in the category of former Rectors and other Principal Officers from the sector, former chief executives and staff of the regulatory body retired and serving Chief Lecturers, and other staff from the sector who have displayed adequate knowledge of the workings of the sector abound in sufficient numbers. 

ASUP, therefore, demanded that the list for the Polytechnics be reviewed before the inauguration to include the class of persons with requisite knowledge of the workings of Polyte chnics.
