ASUU VS FG: NANS REJECT COURT ORDER, ASKS LECTURERS NOT TO RESUME

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has rejected an Industrial Court judgement which ordered Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) to suspend its ongoing strike immediately.

CAMPUS INFO reports that the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) in Abuja had on Wednesday ordered ASUU to immediately suspend the ongoing industrial action and return back to work.

Justice Polycarp Hamman of the Industrial Court held that the strike was a breach of the Section 18(1)(2) of the Trade Disputes Act, which prohibits their action.

Reacting, the National Public Relations Officer of NANS, Giwa Yisa Temitope, described the ruling as a “black market judgment.”

Temitope said the ruling betrayed equity because the Federal Government ought not to drag the academic union before the court an initio.
