The
Federal Government sued the Academic Staff Union of Universities, and the
National Industrial Court is set to rule on the case (ASUU). The prolonged
strike by ASUU, which lasted more than eight months, had been brought to court
by the federal government.
The
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) was told by the National Industrial
Court on September 21, 2022, to get back in the classroom.
Remember
that the defendants (ASUU) were given seven days to submit a reply on a point
of law to the Federal Government's substantive application at the previous
hearing on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
ASUU
and their solicitors have been served with the application and an affidavit in
support of it since September of last year, but they have yet to file a defence
despite the seven days the court gave them last week.
In
a decision on an interlocutory application submitted by the federal government,
Justice Polycap Hamman prohibited ASUU from continuing the strike it started on
February 14 until the federal government's lawsuit against them was decided.
