The National Industrial Court is to deliver a ruling in an application filed by the Federal Government seeking the order of the court to direct the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call off its ongoing strike.
Justice Polycarp Hamman adjourned the matter after listening to the arguments of the counsel on behalf of the parties.
Mr J.U.K Igwe, SAN, counsel to FG, in his submission, had informed the court that the application for the injunction was dated Sept. 12 and filed on the same date.
He added that the application was brought in pursuant to the rules of the NICN 2017 proceeding.
He also urged the court to grant the prayer sought and proceeded to adopt in its entirety and totality the written address, adding that the claimants had met all the requirements to enable the court to grant the injunction.
He said that the claimant’s action was not apprehensive and regarding damages, he said the lost time of seven months of the strike could not be regained.
