BREAKING: ASUU loses in court
The National Industrial Court has ordered ASUU to call off the ongoing strike.
The Court invoked section 18 of the Trade Dispute Act and national interest of the Nigerian students to grant the request of the federal government for an order of injunction against the lecturers.
Justice Polycap Hamman issued the order for suspension of the strike on Wednesday.
The federal government filed an application weeks ago asking that the University teachers be compelled to go back to work pending the resolution of their demands for better working conditions.
The industrial action, about eight months no, hit a snag after critical aspects of the negotiation were settled—except the federal government ‘now-work-no-pay” policy.
The lecturers insisted they must be paid for those months they didn’t work.
