The leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has accused the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS) of misinterpreting the Supreme Court judgment of Jan. 15.
The NUT National President, Mr Nasir Idris, represented by Deputy National President Kelvin Nwankwo, who said this while addressing newsmen on Thursday in Abuja, alleged that ASUSS misinformed the public on the issue.
Idris claimed that ASUSS had informed the public that the Supreme Court in its judgment ruled in its favour to break away from NUT.

He said that that there was nothing near the claim in the resolution of the Supreme Court in the case between the two parties- NUT and ASUSS.
He explained that it was NUT that originally challenged ASUSS at the High Court for parading itself as a trade union with secondary school teachers as members and that court ruled in NUT’s favour.
He said that ASUSS appealed the judgment until it got to the Supreme Court, which referred both parties back to the Court of Appeal to decide whether the Federal High Court had the jurisdiction to hear the matter in the first instance.
He said the above was the current state of the matter and NUT was still awaiting the transmission of the case to the appellate court and wondered why ASUSS now misinterpreted it to mean that Supreme Court had ruled in its favour.
He noted that the Supreme Court judgment had not ruled that ASUSS breakaway from NUT.
