Alawsuit by the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) in which it is requesting a stay of the National Industrial Court’s judgment ordering it to call off its strike, will be heard by the Court of Appeal on Thursday.
On Wednesday, when the case was called, ASUU‘s attorney, Mr. Femi Falana , informed the judge that he had two applications on file, but he wished to withdraw one.
The judge however granted his request.
Falana said in court that he had evidence of serving the preferred application on the Federal Government.
However, Mr. James Igwe a seniour Advocate of Nigeria, the Federal Government’s attorney, informed the court that it was the withdrawn application to which he had seen and responded.
He claimed he needed time to react to the application, which he stated he intended to oppose, in light of the recent development.
