The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has appealed a ruling by the National Industrial Court directing the striking lecturers to immediately end the seven months’ strike and resume work.
This was confirmed in the court documents filed before the Court of Appeal, and obtained by SaharaReporters on Friday, in which the lecturers urged the court to grant the appellant an order of stay of execution of the National Industrial Court’s ruling.
By the documents filed for the appeal, ASUU is seeking from the court, “1. AN ORDER granting the Applicant leave to appeal against the interlocutory ruling of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria per Honourable Justice P.I. Hamman in SUIT NO: NICN/ABJ/270/2022 between FEDERAL GOVERNMNT OF NIGERIA & 1 OR. VS ACADEMIC STAFF UNION OF UNIVERSITIES delivered on Wednesday 21st day of September, 2022.
