NANS rejects court order to end ASUU strike

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has rejected an industrial court order asking the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) to suspend its ongoing strike immediately.

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) in Abuja on Wednesday ordered ASUU to immediately suspend the ongoing industrial action.

Justice Polycarp Hamman on Wednesday held that the strike was a breach of the Section 18(1)(2) of the Trade Disputes Act, which prohibits their action.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14 to press home the demands for improved funding for universities, a review of salaries for lecturers, among other issues.

But the students body said could not be forced back to school without the government meeting the ASUU’s demands.
