The Court of Appeal had on Friday mandated the union to comply first with the ruling of the NICN before anything would be done regarding the main suit.

Recall that ASUU has been on strike since February 14, this year over some demands and during which the government registered two other academic unions in the university system to compete with it.

Among the demands of ASUU are improved welfare of workers, payment of some allowances, the stoppage of the Integrated Personnel Payroll and Information System, IPPIS as the payment platform in the university system among others.
