E say out of di 800 billion naira wey dem ask goment to take revitalise di sector, goment only agree to pay 15 billion naira, but dem neva see one kobo.


Di second tin dem dey fight for na renegotiation of conditions of service.


According to di national president, since dem begin dis discussion wit di goment for December 2021, di tok neva move forward.

Wit di ongoing university lecturers union [Asuu] strike, if polytechnic lecturers (Asup) also down tools, e go see a lot of tertiary institution students out of school.


For many years now, lecturers for public universities and polytechnics don dey demand for beta welfare package from goment.


But, di Nigeria federal goment failure to honour agreements with di lecturers wey concern dia welfare, don make dis unions to go on many strikes.


So students of goment owned tertiary institutions no dey fit complete di stipulated years of dia course at once sake of dis strikes.


Wetin pipo go dey look out for now, na how goment go handle di mata to avoid anoda polytechnic lecturers strike for Nigeria.
