The Federal Government has dragged the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to the National Industrial Court over the union’s ongoing strike which is in its seventh month.

In a statement, the Head of Press and Public Relations at the Ministry of Labour and Employment, OLAJIDE OSHUNDUN, said the Federal Government took the decision after dialogue between it and ASUU failed.

The government has requested that the National Industrial Court order ASUU members to resume work, while the issues in dispute are being addressed by the court.

The case is scheduled for mention at 9 am today and the Federal Government is asking the court to determine if the strike by ASUU is legal or not.
