The Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Federal Government of Nigeria on Thursday October 6, told the Court of Appeal that they’ve failed to reach an out-of-court settlement to end the eight months old strike embarked upon by lecturers across the country, as advised by the appellate court.
This was revealed by FG’s lawyer, James Igwe, and lead counsel for ASUU, Femi Falana -SAN.
Falana had been granted an opportunity by the presiding judge, Justice Hamma Barka, to file a reply to the counter affidavit deposed to by the Federal Government in opposition to the hearing of the appeal.
Meanwhile, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria has already announced that they’ve begun consultations which would continue at the end of the day’s proceedings.
