NANS, National Association of Nigerian Students has lost out in the suit filed against the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Federal Government urging the lecturers to go back to the classroom.
Tuesday, the National Industrial Court in Abuja dismissed the lawsuit brought by Umar Lawal, by a NANS factional president, asking the court to order the Academic Staff Union of Universities to end its strike and resume teaching.
NICN/ABJ/273/2022, which Lawal said he filed on behalf of himself and NANS, was withdrawn when the case was discussed in court on Tuesday.
Lawal testified before the court, which was presided over by Justice Polycarp Hamman, that he had withdrawn a petition of discontinuance because the student body had disputed his authority and denied that he was the President of NANS as he had claimed.
