The National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, struck out a suit the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, filed to compel the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and the Federal Government to call off the ongoing strike action.
Justice Polycarp Hamman terminated further proceedings in the matter, after it was withdrawn by factional President of NANS, Umar Faruk Lawal.
Lawal had told the court that he filed the suit marked NICN/ABJ/273/2022, for himself and on behalf of NANS.
Aside from ASUU which was cited as the 1st Respondent, the Minister of Education and the Attorney-General of the Federation were listed as 2nd and 3rd Respondents, respectively.
When the matter came up on Tuesday, Lawal told the court that he had filed a motion for discontinuance.
He said the decision to withdraw the suit was on account of the challenge by the student body which contested his standing.
