Court orders ASUU to end strike, gives strong reason
The national industrial court directed the striking universities' lecturers, ASUU, to return to classrooms after seven months of lecture boycott.
The industrial court sitting in Abuja gave the verdict on Wednesday, September 21, noting that national interest is at stake.
Justice Polycarp Hamman invoked section 18 of the trade dispute act, which empowered the court to order an end to the strike when national interest is at stake.
