Court restrains KASU unions from embarking on strike

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria has issued an order restraining three unions at Kaduna State University (KASU) from going on strike or engaging in any form of industrial action. The unions affected are the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).

The court's order, issued on November 5, 2026, prevents the unions, their officers, agents, and anyone acting on their behalf from initiating or participating in any strike or industrial action. The decision comes after a suit was filed by Kaduna State University, its Governing Council, and Vice-Chancellor against the unions and some of their officials.

The court directed the claimants to serve the originating summons, Motion on Notice, supporting affidavits, and a copy of the enrolled order on the defendants immediately. The hearing of the Motion on Notice has been adjourned to November 18, 2026.
