Nigerian Students have faulted the court judgement mandated the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call of its 7 month strike.
Reports show that the National Industrial Court of Nigeria on Wednesday ordered the ASUU to call off its ongoing nationwide strike.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14 to press home the demands for improved funding for universities, a review of salaries for lecturers, among other issues.
Several meetings between ASUU and the Federal Government had ended in a deadlock.
But reacting to the ruling in a statement, National Association of Nigerian students (NANS) National Public Relations Officer, Giwa Temitope, said the judgement betrays equity.
The student union spokesperson explained that rather than direct ASUU to return to classroom, the court should have ordered the Federal Government to sort the striking lecturers.
According to the students union, the fact that they had to drag ASUU to court is a signal that this government cannot handle crisis.
