The Appeal Court on Friday ordered the union to obey the earlier order by the National Industrial Court to return to work with immediate effect.

The ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, reacting to the court judgement, said the union is yet to officially receive the Appeal Court ruling.

He said the union would after receiving the judgement, go through the document with its lawyers and decide on its next line of action.

He said, “We have not received the ruling, when we get it, we will review it with our lawyer and then we can take the next step”.

The Federal Government had filed a suit against ASUU at the National Industrial Court on September 11, government could not reach agreement with the union.

The Industrial Court, on September 24, ordered the striking lecturers to return to class while negotiation with the Federal Government continues.

The union appealed the ruling at the Appeal Court, which has now ordered the lecturers to go back to class.
