CURSORY: The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU ) has rejected court order mandating lecturers to return to class, vowing to appeal the order.
Recall that an Industrial Court in Abuja had earlier ordered the Union to call off the ongoing strike stating that it was detrimental to national interest and infringed on students right to education.
In response to this, the legal counsel of the union has stated that it plans to appeal the order.
