The Court of Appeal in Abuja has asked the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government to opt for an out-of-court settlement in handling the impasse between both parties.

The court took the decision on Wednesday while hearing the appeal by ASUU over the September 21 judgement of the National Industrial Court, which ordered the university lecturers to suspend their strike action.

Lead counsel to ASUU, Mister Femi Falana (SAN) and Mister James Igwe (SAN), lead counsel to the Federal Government are all in court.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14.

In August, the union declared a “total and indefinite” extension of its industrial action, noting that the government has failed to meet its demands satisfactorily.

The academics seek improved welfare, revitalisation of public universities and academic autonomy among other demands.

One bone of contention for academics is the non-payment of university revitalisation funds, which amounts to about N1.1 trillion.

But the Federal Government has said it doesn’t have the money to pay such an amount, citing low oil prices during the Muhammadu Buhari administration

ASUU ti lule

ASUU wins

This ASUU stubborn eh.

I see ASUU members joining CONUA...this I have seen

Winnermindset:
ASUU wins

how ASUU take win when Appeal court didn’t grant ASUU a stay of execution prompting them to resume?

FG has gone ahead to create CONUA and assure them of salaries, be assured junior lecturers are going to troop into CONUA en mass and resume lectures before October finishes

Who no want see money buy rice and collect christmas sorting money this December that is one month away

Junior lecturers will rejoice well well and hurriedly port to CONUA, resume and receive salaries instantly

Na only ASUU zonal leaders go remain for ASUU

Nobody is stronger than FG ASUU should ask IPOB howfar

IamDietiesGod:
who is the boss?! ( in Rick ross's voice). SMH!.

Another thing ASSU as "intellectuals" refuse to understand is that;

-Taking them to court (NIC) by FG after seven months of "supposed" negotiations

-Mr Buhari meeting with the VCs

-"proposed" meetings by Mr Gbajamila

-Mr Gbajamila and his cohort visits and reports to Mr Buhari concerning ASSU

- Awaiting (Tomorrow) reports of Mr Buhari on Gbajamila's recommendations which will be nothing special or worthwhileness

- Even ASSU Appeal are all FG plans, well you can call it traps that will only ends in ONE PLACE. You can connect the dots...

Buhari will order ASUU to obey court injunction as obidient citizens and assure them of accommodation in 2023 budget

Finish. Same promises ASUU have been avoiding

Nobody else strong pass Buhari to take the case to queen elizabeth don sue

i don’t expect anything positive. ASUU will not have good news tomorrow from Buhari

As a student of labour relations, l earlier stated that the Fg is moving in circles as regards measures taken by the supervisory ministry in charge of getting this dispute settled. He only conciliated two times in eight month and then went to industrial court when there are other options given to him to address the issue. How about industrial arbitration panel, what about body of inquiry even the use of third party mechanism. With the right frame of mind and sincerity of purpose, this matter would have been resolved long ago. In negotiations, you don't go with biased mind. From my point of view, the minister is biased already and would not be able to settle this matter with ASUU. The only solution now is for him to set up the industrial arbitration panel made of seasoned arbitrators in both the gov. and ASUU side or find recourse in the window explored by Hon. Speaker HoR. The bug stops at him.

I just dey look ASUU... Make una go supreme court..
