NASU, SSANU and NAAT members at Kaduna State University must halt all industrial action until the court hears the university's Motion on November 18, 2026.
Deadline: 18 November 2026
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria has issued an order stopping three staff unions at Kaduna State University from starting any strike or industrial action. The restraint stays in force until the court decides on a Motion filed by the university, its Governing Council and the Vice‑Chancellor.
Court Order Details
Justice E. D. Subilim of the Abuja Judicial Division gave the order on 5 November 2026; it was sealed on 6 November 2026. The injunction covers the unions, their officers, agents and anyone acting for them, forbidding any declaration, direction, encouragement or participation in a strike.
The unions affected are the Non‑Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), all operating within KASU. The suit, NICN/ABJ/329/2026, lists NASU branch chairman Comrade Nina Ochigbo, secretary Comrade Dahiru Musa, SSANU chairman Comrade Sadiya Mustapha and secretary Comrade Nicholas Allen as defendants.
The court also ordered the university to serve the originating summons, Motion on Notice, supporting affidavits and a copy of the enrolled order on the defendants without delay. The hearing of the Motion on Notice has been adjourned to 18 November 2026.
