The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over their unpaid salaries and allowances of several months.

In a statement issued by the President of the union, Anderson Ezeibe, ASUP warned state governments owing lecturers to pay or face industrial action.

The union also vowed to ensure that all members owed by the government are paid before the expiration of their administrations on May 29.

Ezeibe noted that Abia State was owing LECTURERS’ salaries for over 40 months.

Other states that have refused to honour their obligations include Plateau, Osun, Benue, Edo and Ondo States.
