 The Federal Government has threatened to sue the striking lecturers, who are members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities if they fail to resume as ruled by the National Industrial Court. (Watch Video Here)

The threat came from Dr Chris Ngigie, the Minister of Labour. The Minister while granting interview to Channels TV disclosed that all labour controllers has been directed to monitor compliance at all university. (Watch Video Here)

The Minister said that the (Watch Video Here) Court order issued on Friday mandates ASUU to obey the order on that same day and therefore he sees no reason why they shouldn't obey the order.

On this note, the Minister said: "I have asked labour controllers in the 36 states and the zones to reach out to the universities; number one, to see if the vice chancellors have opened the gates because that is one of the imports of the judgment of the Industrial Court." (Watch Video Here)

The Minister also said that Education Ministry making use of NUC will also compare the result with the Labour controllers and by Tuesday, if they (ASUU) have complied with this, first, they will have the right to appeal as the court says. (Watch Video Here)

The Minister also said that for them to appeal, evidence has to be attached “ If they don’t, go and read that portion of the NICN Act, they will be charged for contempt,” he said. (Watch Video Here)
