NANS KICK AGAINST COURT JUDGEMENT

National Association of Nigerian Students NANS has faulted the court judgment mandating the Academic Staff Union of Universities to call of its 7 month strike.

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria on Wednesday ordered the ASUU to call off its ongoing nationwide strike.

While reacting to the ruling in a statement, NANS National Public Relations Officer, Giwa Temitope, said the judgement betrays equity.

The student union spokesperson explained that rather than direct ASUU to return to classroom, the court should have ordered the Federal Government to sort the striking lecturers.

According to report, ASUU has been on strike since February 14 to press home the demands for improved funding for universities, a review of salaries for lecturers, among other issues.

Several meetings between ASUU and the Federal Government had ended in a deadlock.
