The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP), Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech), on Monday, 29th July, withdrew its services from all the part-time programmes in the college.

This was made to public by Nureni Yekini, Chairman of the union, at the end of the union’s congress in Lagos.

Mr Yekinni said that the decision followed the shortfall in the payment of wages and allowances to ASUP members, saying that all services had been suspended until further notice.

“We have been trying to resolve it internally, but as at today, all academic staff in Yaba College of Technology have withdrawn their services from the part-time until those issues are addressed.”

“We have been on it for long. On July 5, we discovered this amputated wages and we wrote the management immediately, but till today, the management has not responded to our letter,’’ he said.
