The court of appeal sitting in Abuja has ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call its prolonged strike.
The order was issued on Friday.
It asked the union to obey an earlier order of an industrial court which directed it to suspend the seven-month industrial action before seeking to appeal the judgment.
The court gave ASUU seven days within which to file the appeal.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the National Industrial Court on September 21, ordered ASUU to call off the strike.
The court granted the motion on notice filed by the Federal Government, urging the lecturers to return to classrooms.
Ruling on the interlocutory injunction, the trial judge, Justice Polycarp Hamman, restrained ASUU from continuing with the industrial action pending the determination of the suit filed against ASUU by the Federal Government.
The union headed for the appellant court to appeal the ruling.
