The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division has ordered members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to resume work immediately.
A three – man panel of the court gave the order Friday while granting leave to ASUU to appeal the interlocutory injunction of Justice Polycarp Hamman of the Abuja Division of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) on September 21, 2022, asking members of the union to resume work.
Presiding Judge, Justice Hamma Akawu Barka, warned that if ASUU fails to comply with the court order, it automatically loses the right to appeal against the ruling of the lower court.
The Court, however, struck out the application by ASUU for a stay of execution of the order of the Industrial Court, based on the motion by the applicant’s counsel, Femi Falana (SAN), for the withdrawal of the application.
It then ordered ASUU to file its notice of appeal on the ruling of the lower court within seven days.
