The Court of Appeal has ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to call of the strike immediately, as it is the only condition that the union’s request to appeal the ruling of the National Industrial Court which ordered the union to call off it’s strike will be given effect.
NAN reports that the court, however, granted the application on the condition that the union obeys the ruling of the lower court and calls off the strike immediately pending the determination of the substantive suit.
The court gave ASUU seven days within which to file the appeal following the obedience of the ruling of the lower court.
Earlier today, while presenting the 2023 budget proposal, President Muhammadu Buhari has said the sum of N470 billion has been earmarked for university revitalisation in the 2023 budget.
Funding for the revitalisation of public universities is among the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has been on strike since February.
