Supervising Minister of Education Believes ASUP strike is policical

 I guess everything in Nigeria now is political. If I cough now, someone will surely say it is political.The supervising Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, has described the planned peaceful rally by the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) as a political rally.

The unions are scheduled to embark on a rally today to protest what they described as the lack of commitment by the federal government to see to the resolution of the strike.

But Wike, while speaking with journalists in Abuja yesterday, said the government would not be blackmailed by politicisation of the strike.
