Nigeria’s Academic Staff Acting On Court Order, Issues Still Unresolved

The Academic Staff Union of Universities says it called off its eight-month strike due to a court order and appeals from Nigerians. <br />A court of appeal had ordered the striking lecturers to return to class after the National Industrial Court ruled against the union in a case brought to it by the Federal government. Days after the appeal court judgment, ASUU called off the strike and ordered members to resume lectures. <br />The union’s National President, Emmanuel Osodeke, however, says the decision was not because issues brought by the lecturers were fully addressed.
