The Nigeria's striking university teachers say they will appeal to the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, which ordered the union to call off its ongoing nationwide strike and resume work.
This according to Academic Staff Union of Universities said its lawyers were already filing an appeal and urged its members to “remain calm”.
This follows an Nigerian court ordering lecturers of the the public institutes to call off their over six months strike and return to class.
The lecturers have been demanding higher pay and several negotiations with the government have not yielded any positive results, which forced President Buhari's administration to approach the National Industrial Court.
