Lawyers for the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has reacted to the ruling by the National Industrial Court ordering lecturers back to work.
The legal representatives said they will take appropriate action after studying the ruling.
Earlier on Wednesday, a vacation Judge, Justice Polycarp Hamman, directed the lecturers to suspend the strike action after disagreeing with ASUU’s lawyer, Femi Falana, that FG’s claim on the damage on students’ educational future was based on hearsay.
The Justice subsequently restrained the union from the industrial action pending the determination of the main case bordering on the terms of agreement between the two parties ( FG and ASUU).
Speaking to newsmen, Falana, who was represented in court by Dr. Odorche Edor, said ASUU’s legal team will adopt its next line of action after going through the ruling.
“The court has ruled that members of ASUU are restrained from continuing the strike action and that they should return back to the classroom pending the determination of the substantive suit.
“As per the next action, there are quite a number of options open to the union, we will study the ruling with the legal team and then we will adopt the most appropriate option,” he said.
