An Industrial court sitting in Abuja has adjourned the Federal Government, ASUU case till Friday 16 September, 2022.
Justice Polycarp Hamman of the National Industrial Court on Monday adjourned the suit against the Academic Staff Union of Universities which was filed by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.
News Live Nigeria earlier reported that the Federal Government urged the National Industrial Court to order ASUU to call off its seven months strike.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year, over issues surrounding lack of funding for public universities, disagreement over salary payment platforms, and unpaid earned allowances, as contained in the agreement with the federal government in 2009.
The Federal government has not been able to reach any tangible agreement with the universities’ unions, a development that has grounded government-owned universities.
Joined as a claimant in the matter is the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, with the President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, as the sole defendant.
