Strike: ASUU reacts to Appeal Court ruling to resume work immediately

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has reacted to the Appeal Court ruling asking the union to resume work immediately.

The union has said it would review the judgement of the Appeal Court that ordered the union to end its strike, to determine its next line of action.

Recall that  that the appeal court on Friday ordered the union to return to work as earlier ordered by the National Industrial Court with immediate effect.

In reaction to the fresh court judgement, ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, stated that the union is yet to officially receive the Appeal Court ruling.

He said the union would after receiving the judgement, go through the document with its lawyers and decide on its next line of action.

He said, “We have not received the ruling, when we get it, we will review it with our lawyer and then we can take the next step”.

Recall that the Federal Government, following its inability to reach a truce with the university lecturer, dragged ASUU to the National Industrial Court on September 11.
