 Back here in Nigeria, the National Industrial Court of Nigeria and ICN has ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASU to call off its ongoing nationwide strike. ASU has been on strike since February 14 to press on the demands for improved funding for universities, a review of salaries for lecturers, among other issues. Several meetings between ASU and the federal government have ended in a deadlock. Consequently, the federal government went to court to challenge the strike. James Iguay counseled to the government, pray the court for an interlocutary injunction, restraining ASU from taking further steps as regards the strike, pending the determination of the substantive suit. The court therefore restrained ASU whether by themselves, members, agents, previous, or so-ever court, from taking further steps and doing any acts in continuance of the strike action, pending the hearing and determination of the suit filed. The ruling by the Honourable Court is very consistent with the rule of law. It's also a recognition of the fundamental role that education plays in development, in national development, in economic development. And also it recognizes the fact that without education there will be no rule of law. I thank the judiciary for saving educational development. What has happened is that the past seven months educational development has been halted, particularly in public universities in Nigeria, which out not to be, because when that fundamental pillar on which development rest is halted for seven months, it means the entire economic, the entire social development is also halted, which out not to be.
