The lawyers for the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, on Thursday, told the Court of Appeal that both parties could not resolve the eight months old strike, despite the out-of-court settlement as advised by the Appellate Court.
The FG’s lawyer, James Igwe, and lead counsel for ASUU, Femi Falana (SAN), told the presiding judge, Justice Hamma Barka that despite the admonition, they could not reach a reasonable conclusion.
However, Falana said they had begun consultations which would continue at the end of the day’s proceedings, suggesting that the application challenging the ruling of the Industrial Court be heard by the three-man panel of the Appeal Court which all parties agreed to.
