The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics are to commence a nationwide one-week warning strike on Monday.

The President of ASUP, Mr. Usman Dutse, said during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday that academic and administrative exercise would be suspended in all public polytechnics across the country between noon of January 30, 2017 and February 6, 2017.
He said that the National Executive Committee of ASUUP had given a directive to all public polytechnics to comply with the warning strike directive.
According to him, the union decided to embark on a warning strike over the refusal of the government to implement the NEEDS Assessment report of July 2014 which showed that the polytechnics and colleges of education required N652.6 million to address the decay in infrastructure in the institutions.
The ASUP President also listed the non removal of the entry dichotomy between HND and degrees, poor funding of the polytechnics, victimization of union officials, and non release of check off dues among other reasons for the planned industrial action.
He said, “The union therefore resolved at the emergency meeting of the National Executive Council held on the 25 January 2017 to embark on a one week warning strike effective 12 noon, January 30, 2017 to 6 February 2017 in the first instance.
“Members are therefore directed to ensure total compliance as no academic and administrative activity is expected in any public polytechnic across Nigeria within the period; and await further directives from the union’s organs.”
Dutse said that the union had issued a one month ultimatum to the Federal Government to draw its attention to the issues affecting the sector on November 14, 2016 without a response.

Best Five (5) Ways to appreciate Pure Water Seller over Street Begger in Nigeria

According to Fatoye Kolawole Aliu, narrates his experience during street interview at Osodi in Mage City of Lagos, and Abeokuta Express way: 

Stated that " I Just Interviewed 3 Pure Water Sellers In Oshodi - Abeokuta Expressway, And According To Them: Sometimes, It Takes About 6 Hours To Sell 20 Sachets Of Water Which Amounts To A Total Of N200 (1Dollar).

From The N200, The Profit Is Only About N40 As The Pure Water Sellers Have To Pay The Wholesalers Their Money Back As Well As Cover The Price For Ice Block Which Was Used To Cool The Water.
The Long And Short Of It Is That Some Of Them Make Only N40 In 6 Hours Of Hustling Under The Hot Sun, Risking Their Lives On Major Express Roads And Always At The Mercy Of The Environmental Protection Board Who Whip Them With Cane When Caught; Burst Their Water Sachets To The Ground And Fine Them N5,000.
As If That Isn't Bad Enough, When Passengers And Drivers Reach The Traffic Stops, They Prefer To Dash N100, N200 Or Even N500 To Beggars And Fake Sufferers Who Sometimes Make About N1,500 A Day Doing Nothing But Begging, Leaving Them Richer, Luckier And Safer Than The Pure Water Sellers Who Are Young Entrepreneurs Serving The Larger Community With Their Trade, And Trying To Make Ends Meet".
So When Next You Are At A Traffic Stop, Please:
1. Dash The Pure Water Seller Instead of that fake beggar who just pretend and nothing is wrong with them.
2. Buy Pure Water To Patronise Them And If The Change Is (N10, Or Even N20, You Can Leave It With Them)
3. Say Something Nice To Them. Greet Them, Encourage Them.
4. Slow Down, Don't Knock Them Down.
5. Even If You Wont Buy The Pure Water, If They Ask You To Buy, Rather Than Ignoring Them And Facing Front As If They Are Not Humans, You Can Look At Them, smile and tell them "Thank You God bless you"
Many of us had hawk one time or the other in our life...
