NOTSUP Issues 14-Day Ultimatum to Federal Government

The Non-teaching Staff Union of Polytechnics (NOTSUP), under the leadership of national president Comrade Shaba Nakorji, has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the federal government. This ultimatum demands the resolution of delays in implementing outstanding agreements, issuing implementation circulars, and paying staff entitlements, allowances, and arrears owed to its members.

NOTSUP expressed that the delay undermines collective bargaining and industrial justice. The union specifically called on the Federal Ministry of Education to issue all outstanding implementation circulars, including those related to the Consolidated Non Teaching Tool Allowance (CONTTA), and to ensure the full implementation of all agreements reached.

The union also demanded the prompt payment of verified outstanding entitlements and urged the ministry to provide a timeline for implementation. Failure to meet these demands will lead NOTSUP to consider further legitimate trade union actions.

The union reaffirmed its commitment to constructive engagement and called for urgent intervention from the Minister of Education.
