Kpanja, read: \u201cMembers of the public may recall that our Union issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Government following a resolution to that effect during the 110th meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ultimatum was effective from the 8th of July, 2024 and the issue in contention centered on contentious provisions in the new Scheme of Service as released by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) on the 19th of June, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Union had reviewed the document and identified several provisions that fundamentally altered the tertiary education status of Polytechnics in Nigeria, deepened the condemnable and agelong discrimination against holders of the Higher National Diploma certificate, distorted employee relativity in the Nigeria Polytechnic System, unnecessarily expanded the overheads of the Institutions etc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Union therefore demanded a suspension of the implementation of the contentious provisions and the commencement of a thorough review through a stakeholders\u2019 engagement process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 15-day ultimatum was to provide government ample time to address our grievance or face diverse forms of industrial action by our aggrieved members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin the 15 days period however, our Union\u2019s leadership was invited to a tripartite meeting with the leadership of the NBTE and Federal Ministry of Education on the 19th of July where it was resolved that the implementation of the flawed document be suspended and a review process be initiated in line with the demands of our Union.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe document was immediately suspended by the NBTE through a circular addressed to Chairmen Governing Councils, Rectors and Provosts of our institution\u2019s same day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing this development, our Union\u2019s NEC reconvened on an emergency note on the 22nd of July to review our earlier position. The NEC therefore resolved to suspend the earlier scheduled industrial action in recognition of the fact that the demands of the Union has been met substantially.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate our members\u2019 steadfastness in the face of the unearned provocation; the intervention and inputs of different stakeholders including Rectors of Polytechnics; sister staff Unions and the students through the National Association of Polytechnic Students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are equally appreciative of the productive intervention of the Honorable Minister, Federal Ministry of Education and the receptive disposition of the Executive Secretary of the NBTE in arriving at the decisions as well as the media for once again being worthy partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Union shall therefore dedicate energy and time in the coming days to preparations for the review exercise so as to finally produce a document that will reflect the aspirations of the sector.Solidarity\u2026\u2026\u2026.
