The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says it would appeal the ruling of the National Industrial Court (NIC) suspending its seven-month-old strike.
In a statement signed by the Chairman of Lagos Zone of the union, Adelaja Odukoya titled; “NIC Back to Work Order on ASUU: Be Calm”, the ASUU told its members to remain united, even as it suggested that the order would be vacated.
The statement reads in part; “Our Comrade President, Comrade Victor Osodeke, has urged members of our Great Union to remain calm as there is no cause for alarm on the back to work order delivered earlier today.
“Our lawyer is filing an appeal and stay of execution of the judgment. Members should remain resolute and strong. A people united can never be defeated. Solidarity without compromise.”
