The Federal polytechnic, Oko has pulled
out of the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) strike to
enable their students write the second semester examinations and cover
the academic calendar of the institution.
This announcement was made yesterday
evening after the emergency meeting of the Academic Board of Federal
Polytechnic Oko who reiterated their support of the agitation of the
union but has to put the fate of students into consideration as they
have wasted a lot of time at home.
Students of Oko Poly are to note
that the school management will announce the resumption date
and modalities for the examination which will commence immediately.
This news is coming after the meeting between the ASUP
national body and the joint national assembly committee on education
ended in stalemate as the federal government’s delegation failed to
attend the meeting for negotiations.
Good news for Oko Poly students. Good luck and safe journey as you go back to school to resume your academic activities.
