Lecturers of Nigerian Polytechnics have agreed to end their over 2-month old strike. The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), took the decision at a meeting organized by the Joint Committee on Education of the National Assembly.
The President of ASUP, Chibuzor Asomugha said that the polytechnic lecturers would do all within their powers to call off the strike as soon as possible.  He said: “Our meeting with the Senate Committee on Education was successful. There was an agreement to meet our demands in the next two weeks as the request will be presented to President Goodluck Jonathan for his approval. We will determine when to call off our industrial action after our NEC meeting slated in two weeks.”
The other meeting between the joint committee and ASUU which was also scheduled did not hold.
