 Thanks for joining us, this is the News Update, I'm Loreta Ciogo. We begin with the report that the Court of Appeal, Nabooja, has granted conditional leave to the academic staff union of universities ASU to appeal the decision of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria delivered on 21st of September. In a ruling delivered by Justice Hamman Barkar on October 7th and made public today, the Court granted ASU seven days to file its notice of appeal before the NICN on the condition that the order of the lower court was obeyed immediately. This comes after Justice Pauli Karp Hamman of the NICN had directed ASU to return to classrooms after eight months of strike. ASU had on the 28th of September applied to the Court of Appeal to granted leave to appeal against the anti-locatory order of Justice Hamman. The union also asked for an order staying the execution of the decision of the NICN pending the hearing and determination of its appeal.
