The Rector of the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Professor Godwin Onu, has called on the Academic staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) to call off the protracted strike action in the interest of the students.

According to him the strike action has made students who ought to have graduated to remain at home while those who have been admitted are yet to resume lectures.

It is expected that the meeting involving ASUP executives, joint committee of the National Assembly representing the Federal Government, Ministries of education, finance and labour today will bring an end to the strike.
