J.U.K Igwe, counsel to FG, in his submission had informed the court that the application for the injunction was dated September 12 and filed same date.Mr Igwe further stated that it was predicated on 11 grounds, supported by 21 paragraph affidavit deposed to Okechukwu Wampa, a Legal Adviser in the Ministry of Labour and Employment, attached with three exhibits and an undertaking as to damages deposed to by Wampa.
He concluded by saying that going by the provision of section 18 of the Trade Disputes Act 2004 that a worker should not embark on strike when a matter is already before the court, the court should grant the injunction. He also said that the referral asking for accelerated hearing was not necessary as there was no urgency in the matter as the strike had lasted for seven months.
Mr Igwe in addition stated that the defendant’s objection will not be prejudiced as it can be adopted and taken with the substantive at a later date.
What are they ruling! ASUU should remain resolute on their decision. FG has to do something, agreement was reach in 2019, why should it be truncated now.
