The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has appealed the order of the National Industrial Court (NIC) directing it to end its ongoing seven months strike.

ASUU, through its representatives, asked the Court of Appeal in Abuja to order staying execution of the order of the National Industrial Court on the case between FG and ASUU, pending the hearing and determination of the interlocutory Appeal.

ASUU also urged the court to grant it leave to appeal against the interlocutory ruling of the National Industrial Court.
