WHEN IS THIS STRIKE GOING TO END?,YABATECH STUDENTS COMPLAIN

The strike action embarked upon by the members of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics has caused a lot of pain to all polytechnic students. I call on the authorities to resolve this matter. Education is our future. Please, the Federal Government should listen to the protesting teachers.- OLAYINKA MODUPE.YABATECH

The polytechnic as a system under Nigeria’s education has, over the years, been subjected to neglect causing a major decline in its qualities.
This poor state of the country’s technical sector has, over the years been blamed on misplacement of priority and policy summersault by successive and present government, an implication that the nation still groans under till date.
One fact that leds credence to this assertion is that countries that had earlier been termed third world have been able to rise up to challenges to transform their economic fortunes through deliberate revamping of their technical education system.
In Nigeria however, such is not the case, as lecturers in the technical education sector which comprises the Monotechnics, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education have downed tools. Their action was as a result of the recent indefinite strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP).
According to the President of ASUP, Chibuzo Asomugha, who directed its members to proceed on the strike last week the decision was due to the failure of government to honour a wide range of demands earlier raised by the union since 2012, which had also culminated in the issuance of a 21-day ultimatum on 25th March, 2013 and subsequent warning strike.
Chief among the issues which the union has hinged the latest strike on is the abrogation of the National Board for Technical Education as the regulatory body of Nigerian Polytechnics, to be replaced with National Polytechnics Commission (NPC).
In line with recent actions at the Universities, the union had also called on government to constitute Governing Councils for all the Federal Polytechnics and Colleges of Education as well as effect the migration policy of lower cadre officers on  CONTISS 15 salary scale.
Other grievances of the union are the non-release of the White Paper on the visitations to federal polytechnics, failure to commence the Needs Assessment of Nigerian Polytechnics by the Federal Government, including the worrisome state of State owned Polytechnics in the country.
ASUP had at various forum lamented the continued appointment of unqualified persons as Rectors and Provosts of Polytechnics, Monotechnics and Colleges of Technologies by some state governments and the refusal of most State governments to implement the approved salary packages(CONPCASS) for their members as well as the 65 year retirement age.
They have also bemoaned the lackadaisical attitude of the National Assembly in passing the bill on the review of the Federal Polytechnics Act and taken pains to write the Office of the Head of Service to approve the Revised Scheme of Service for Polytechnics, including the non commencement of the re-negotiation of the FGN/ASUP agreement as contained in the signed agreement.
Asomugha while presiding over a meeting with the National Executive Council (NEC) of the union at the headquarters of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Abuja said these issues were first brought to the attention of government as early as February, 2012.
He said the union believes the thrust of these demands are instructive and conceived in good faith stressing that they were geared towards the creation of broadened and balanced options that would ensure proper development of polytechnic education in Nigeria.
He however, said it was unfortunate that government has not given enough attention to addressing them even when it is ultimately clear that Nigeria’s growth prospects would be determined, not by its natural resources, but by its human resources and quality technological education.
According to the ASUP President, “Too much cannot be said about the fact that knowledge is a fulcrum of growth and development, and countries with higher technical skill levels are better equipped to face new challenges and master technological discoveries. Nigeria cannot be an exception.”
He said, “Over the years the polytechnic sector in Nigeria has groaned under a myriad of burdens, and these have inevitably hampered the creation of a viable platform for the sector to grow and develop as is obtainable in developed and developing global economies.”
“Improving the structures and systems of technical education should be high on government’s developmental agenda. Our policy makers must ensure that the workforce acquires the skills to compete, innovate, and respond to complex social, environmental, and economical situations,” he added.
The ASUP President said what currently exists represents the flipside to every sustained effort in developing polytechnic education, adding that the results are dismal and discouraging.
“First, is the problem of wrongful perception and stereotyped interpretation of the goals and objectives of the Polytechnic system in Nigeria,” he said.
Asomugha said government’s budgetary provisions for the polytechnic sector are not only a deep reflection of the deep neglect of the sector but the embarrassing extent to which it has continued to misplace priorities in the quest for technological development.
In the 2012 budget where over N400 billion was allocated to the entire education sector, Asomogha said government was biased in the allocations.
According to him, federal polytechnics got 63.7billion, representing 15.92percent, while federal colleges of education got 42.5 billion which represented 10.62percent, But the federal universities got 188.4 billion, representing 47.1percent, an indication that the university sector alone received almost twice what was allocated to the polytechnics and colleges of education.
He said, “Government’s much talked about need to create access to education has only been expressed as the proliferation of new universities by all manners of dubious proprietorship. Recently, as government is wont, there have been talks of mega-universities in certain sections of the country.”
Asomugha also added no sustained plan has been put in place to upgrade facilities in the existing polytechnics even when the need for setting up of new ones has not been considered as necessary for the technological development of Nigeria.
“This is the defining irony of this country, and unless urgent steps are taken to address them, we shall continue to live several years behind the windows of technological civilization,” he stressed.
As the entire technical education sub sector comes to a halt, following ASUP’s strike, stakeholders are of the view that until government yields to their demands by taking a holistic review of the sector, the much talked about transformation agenda by the present administration will continue to be an illusion.
