Court Orders ASUU To Call Off Strike Immediately

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) in Abuja has ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to immediately suspend the ongoing industrial action.

Justice Polycarp Hamman on Wednesday held that the strike was a breach of the Section 18(1)(2) of the Trade Disputes Act, which prohibits their action.

He said the use of “shall” in the Act connotes mandatory provision not to embark on the strike pending the determination of the main suit before the court.

The judge noted that the strike has caused irreparable damage to the careers of many students in Nigeria.

Justice Hamman referred the case to the president of the court for reassignment.
