The Court of Appeal on Friday, ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call off its strike with immediate effect.
This, the court said is the only condition that the union’s request to appeal the ruling of the National Industrial Court will be given effect.
Recall that the National Industrial Court, on Sept. 21, ordered ASUU to call off its 9 month-old strike following a notice filed by the Federal Government urging the lecturers to return to classrooms.
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.
