ASUU loses again as Appeal Court orders striking lecturers back to class

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call of the strike immediately as it is the only condition that the union’s request to appeal the ruling of the National Industrial Court which ordered the union to call off it’s strike will be given effect.

The court, however, granted the application on the condition that the union obeys the ruling of the lower court and calls off the strike immediately pending the determination of the substantive suit.

The court gave ASUU seven days within which to file the appeal following the obedience of the ruling of the lower court.
