When two Elephants fight, the grass indeed gets hurt. The brutal tussle between the Nigerian Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is still on, as the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities will on Friday (today) file an appeal against the ruling of the National Industrial Court which directed its members to resume work.
The legal Counsel for ASUU, Femi Falana (SAN), disclosed this in an interview in Abuja on Thursday.
To reiterate its demands for enhanced funding for universities and a review of salaries for lecturers, among other pressing issues. The Academic Staff Union embarked on an industrial strike action since February 14, 2022.
On Wednesday Justice Polycarp Hamman ordered the union’s members back to work.
However, Femi Falana (SAN) has responded, he said;
“We are filing the appeal tomorrow (Friday) morning. We just got the certified true copy of the judgment on Thursday. The appeal will be filed first thing Friday morning.”
The battle lives on! The students suffer!
