The Court of Appeal in Abuja has granted the application for leave to appeal filed by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The leave so granted allows ASUU to formally challenge the interlocutory order issued by the National Industrial Court, directing its members to resume work pending the determination of the substantive suit filed by the Federal Government against the strike embarked upon by ASUU.
In a ruling on Friday, a three-member panel of the court, led by Justice Hamma Barka ordered the striking lecturers to “immediately” call off its eight-months strike.
