Peaceful but heavy protest by students of Auchi
Polytechnic Auchi has brought vehicular movement to an
abrupt stop at the ever busy Benin/Abuja express way, a
road linking the North and the south.
.
The students whose grievance was due to the continued
strike by the ASUP (Auchi poly chapter) due to an unpaid
arrears by the Federal govt, undue demotion, sack and
suspension of some lecturers alleged to be corrupt and
other factors which the lecturers are pushing on to be met
by Management and Federal govt of Nigeria.
.
Over two months now, academic activities in the school
has been epileptic and now, it has been grounded
totally following the strike action by lecturers of the
institution who are at loggerhead with the management
of the school and the Federal govt. over the sack of their
colleagues alleged to be corrupt, payment of arrears etc.
.
Trying to bring both the lecturers and the management
of the school to a round table discussion by the SUG
body proves abortive as the lecturers are more agitative
than ever. And the students who seems to be the most hit
by the tussles has now took to the Federal road carrying
out a peaceful protest with several inscriptions on their
placards, thereby sending signals to the appropriate
authorities to come to their aid as the tussles which
started since last year after the tenure of the previous
Rector has now be full blown, thereby frustrating
academic activities and stretching the academic calender
of the school.
The protest is peaceful, but the Federal road has been
blocked by the students thereby shutting movement for
about two hours now.
.
Last year's academic calender slided into this year due to
this same issue and many of the final year students are
still yet to be called for service due to late or no
registration for the NYSC scheme..........
