The National Industrial Court, NIC, sitting in Abuja, on
Tuesday, struck out a suit filed by the National Association of Nigerian
Students, NANS, to compel the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and
the Federal Government to call off the ongoing strike action.
Justice Polycarp Hamman closed further proceedings in the
matter following the withdrawal of the suit by the factional President of NANS,
Umar Faruk Lawal.
Lawal had informed the court that he filed the suit marked
NICN/ABJ/273/2022 for himself and on behalf of NANS.
When the matter came up on Tuesday, Lawal, notified the
court that he had filed a motion for discontinuance.
He said his decision to withdraw the suit was because of the
challenge by NANS, which contested his standing and denied that he is the
President of the student body, as he had deposed to.
Though the other two respondents were not represented,
however, counsel to ASUU, Marshal Abubakar, informed the court that he was not
opposed to Lawal’s application to withdraw the suit.
Consequently, Justice Hamman struck out the matter.
