The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on Friday, ordered members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to resume work in obedience to the National Industrial court decision before it could proceed with its appeal.
The appellate court gave the order in a ruling on an application by the ASUU seeking permission for it to appeal against the order of the National Industrial Court which asked the striking lecturers to resume duty.
The industrial court had on September 22, granted an interlocutory order following an application to that effect by the Federal Government, ordering university lecturers to return to work pending the resolution of their dispute with government.
