EKO HOT BLOG reports that the National Industrial Court has fixed Wednesday, September 21 to rule on the application for an interlocutory injunction filed by the Federal Government against the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Justice Peter Hamman fixed the date on Monday after thfore lead counsel to the Federal Government, James Igwe, argued his application seeking an order of the court restraining ASUU from further continuing with the ongoing nationwide strike.
This online media earlier reported that the House of Representatives is scheduled to meet with the union and other stakeholders in a bid to end the lingering strike embarked upon by the varsity lecturers.
ASUU had on February 14 declared a nationwide strike pressing home their demands for revitalisation funds for universities, renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement, release of earned allowances for university lecturers, and deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution.
The situation has forced many Nigerian students to be out of school for over seven months, prompting them to block the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, and Lagos airport to register their displeasure.
