Laspotech wont be joining the Asup Strike- Full Lectures Resumes Today

ASUP is to embark on strike today 13th November 2017, and with the information gathered from the Laspotech polytechnic's SUG executives, the polytechnic won't be joining the strike for now due to reasons best known to the polytechnic's management, so all students are been implored to resume as full lectures begins today and registration continues for new students.

At the last minute, Governor Mary Fallin, not exactly an opponent of the death penalty, issued a stay of Richard’s execution. Today, Richard’s situation is nowhere near being resolved. As the st...
