Indication is rife that Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will appeal Wednesday’s ruling of the National Industrial Court which ordered the union to suspend its seven-month-old strike.
Counsel to the Union Mr Femi Falana (SAN) has said that, “We are filing the appeal today (Friday) morning.
We just got the certified true copy of the judgment on Thursday. The appeal will be filed first thing Friday morning.”
ASUU has been on strike since February 14 to press home its demands for improved funding for universities and a review of salaries for lecturers, among other issues.
Justice Polycarp Hamman on Wednesday ordered the union’s members back to work.
