The National Industrial Court is set to deliver judgment in the suit filed by the Federal Government against the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The Federal government had dragged ASUU to court over its prolonged strike with lasted for over 8 months.
On 21st September 2022 the National Industrial Court ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to return to the classroom.
Recall that at the last hearing on Tuesday May 2, 2023, Kanyip, the President of NICN, granted the defendants (ASUU) seven days to file a reply on point of law to the substantive application of the Federal Government.
The application, alongside affidavit in support, was served on ASUU and their lawyers since September last year, but they did not enter any defence, despite the seven days the court granted them last week to do so.
Delivering a ruling on an interlocutory application filed by the federal government, Justice Polycap Hamman restrained ASUU from continuing with the strike it began on 14th February pending the determination of the suit filed against them by the federal government.
