ASUU vs FG: Court adjourns till Friday, Sept. 16

The suit against the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been adjourned till Friday, September 16th.

The matter came up before Justice Polycarp Hamman of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Abuja.

The suit was filed by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.

Federal Government wants the National Industrial Court to order ASUU members to resume work, while the issues in dispute are being addressed by the court.

It is also asking the court to determine whether the strike by ASUU is legal or not.

When the matter slated for mention came up, human rights activist, Ebunolu Adegoruwa, SAN, informed the court that he was representing the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project and that he had filed a suit on the same subject matter before the same court.

He also stated that in the suit NICN/ABJ/269/2022, SERAP was the claimant with the Federal Government as the defendant.

He, therefore, proceeded to apply that the extant suit be consolidated and SERAP be joined in the suit as a defendant, instead of multiple suits on the same matter before the same court.
