, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics 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 “dismay” at the new list of appointees whom it tagged as individuals with “no knowledge” of the polytechnic system.

ASUP 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 Polytechnics.

It noted that a review of the list will save the sector from a “crisis associated with poor governance which is likely to prevail if the list is not reviewed accordingly.”
