The National Industrial Court, holden in Akure has granted an injunction against the management of Ondo State University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa from retiring staff below the age of 65.
In an interim order granted by the Court, members of Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities(SSANU), Non Academic Staff Union(NASU) and National Association of Academic Technologists(NAAT) must not be issued retirement notice pending the determination of the case.
The unions have been in a running battle with the management of the school over contradictory orders emanating from Ondo State Government as regards the statutory retirement age of members of the Union. The unions had dragged the University management to the Industrial Court on the issue.
