While in Education, the suit against the Academic Staff Union of Universities which was filed by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has been adjourned.

The matter came up before Justice Polycarp Hamman of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Abuja.

VOP News gathered that the Federal Government urged the National Industrial Court to order ASUU to call off its seven months strike.
Joined as a claimant in the matter is the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, with the President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, as sole defendant.

When the matter slated for mention came up, human rights activist, Ebunolu Adegoruwa, informed the court that he was representing the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project and that he had

filed a suit on the same subject matter before the same court.
However, the judge in his ruling, adjourned the matter until Friday, for further mention.

Speaking on this, a seniour lecturer of the Department of Mass Communication, Dr Suraj Olunifesi had this to say.
