ASUU FILES APPEAL AGAINST NIC JUDGMENT

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has again filed an appeal against the judgment of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria which ordered the striking lecturers to return back to work.

It was also gathered that the court is yet to fix a date for the official hearing of the suit.

The counsel for ASUU, Femi Falana, made this known in an exclusive interview with correspondents in Abuja on Saturday.

Falana, who also shared the official documents of the appeal with reporters, noted that the union was still awaiting the official hearing date from the appellate court.

You will recall, ASUU had filed an appeal before the Appeal Court in Abuja, but the appellate court noted that it would not hear ASUU’s appeal should the union fail to obey the ruling of the lower court.
In line with the ruling, ASUU called off its strike on October 13, 2022.
