ASUU UNILAG Reacts To Order Asking Lecturers To Resume Work

 The court ruling came after the Federal Government, in a suit, had filed for an application for an order compelling ASUU to call off its strike.

 

The Academic Staff Union on Universities, UNILAG chapter has reacted to an order by the National Industrial Court asking lecturers to return to the classroom.

 

The order was given on Wednesday.

 

Recall that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been on strike for seven months now.

 

The court ruling came after the Federal Government, in a suit, had filed for an application for an order compelling ASUU to call off its strike.

 

When asked to react to the court ruling, the Chairman of ASUU, University of Lagos chapter, UNILAG, Dr. Dele Ashiru simply said the Union will respond. 

 

“So wait for the union to respond. I am not the union. It’s a national strike, it’s not a local strike. 

 

Wait for the reaction of the national. The national body will give a directive as to what to do,” he said.
