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, Tuesday to protest what they describe as a lack of commitment by the Federal Government to see to the resolution of the strike.
