The Court of Appeal has granted the Academic Staff Union of Universities permission to appeal the ruling of the National Industrial Court, which ordered the union to call off its strike.
The court, however, granted the application on the condition that the union obeys the ruling of the lower court.
It must thus call off the strike immediately pending the determination of the substantive suit
The court gave ASUU seven days within which to file the appeal.
It was gathered that the National Industrial Court on September 21, 2022 ordered ASUU to call off the strike.
The court granted the motion on notice filed by the Federal Government, urging the lecturers to return to classrooms.
Ruling on the interlocutory injunction, the trial judge, Justice Polycarp Hamman, restrained ASUU from continuing with the industrial action pending the determination of the suit filed against ASUU by the Federal Government.
