Appeal Court Orders ASUU To Call Off Strike, Resume Work Immediately

Appeal Court has ordered ASUU to call off strike and resume work immediately.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call off its strike.

At the court session on Friday, the appellate court said ASUU should obey the order of an industrial court which directed the suspension of the strike before seeking to appeal the judgment.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has berated the former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega, over his comment on the ongoing strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

This online media platform recalls that Jega, during an interview on Arise News on Tuesday, had accused Ngige of embarking on a personal vendetta against ASUU members.

Jega said instead of working on how to resolve the ASUU strike which has been on since February 14, 2022, Ngige by his actions has been creating more problems.

He said the actions being taken by the federal government including the registration of the factional Congress of Nigerian Universities Academics (CONUA) to rival ASUU are simply recipes for disaster.

But in a statement on Thursday in Abuja by his media office, Ngige advised Jega to stand on the truth on the face-off between the Federal Government and ASUU.
