The polytechnics senior staff is also demanding for the release of the scheme of service for the polytechnic immediately, which has been put on hold by the National Board For Technical Education, NBTE for three years without any explanation.
If the polytechnic lecturers make good their threat to go on strike, they would join their university countertops who have been on an indefinite strike for close to one year now.
