ASUU battles Kogi University over alleged unlawful sack of 114 lecturers, as court admits 345 exhibits

The huge exhibits were tendered by human rights activist and constitutional lawyer, Femi Falana and admitted by Justice Rakiya Haastrup, to determine the legality or otherwise of the alleged unjust layoff of the lecturers.

However, in the suit, Falana amongst others asked the Industrial Court to declare the termination of his clients’ appointments as illegal, null and void on the ground that it violated the extant provisions of Chapter 6 paragraph 6.4.6 of the Kogi State University conditions and schemes of service for senior staff dated November 2008.

Falana further sought a perpetual injunction order restraining the defendants from further terminating the employment or refusing the lecturers the right to enjoy any privilege or refusing to pay their salaries and allowances, promoting or harassing, intimidating, threatening or suspending the employment of his clients without due compliance with extant provisions of the laws regulating their employment.

He told Justice Haastrup to take a critical judicial look into all the exhibits and order the restoration of the lecturers to work in the interest of justice and fair play.
