Activities resume at NICN after annual vacation
By Matthew Eloyi
Activities resumed on Tuesday at the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) nationwide, after seven weeks’ vacation.
The vacation, which began on Friday, 31 July and ended on Monday 27 September was announced via a circular, dated 5 July signed by NICN President, Justice Benedict Kanyip.
Reports state that there was no court sitting during the period of the vacation.
However, during the vacation, Justice Bashar Alkali delivered a ruling that was filed via a motion on notice due to the urgent nature of the suit.
Alkali granted an interlocutory injunction urging the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), to suspend its 64 days strike and return to work immediately.
Meanwhile, lawyers and litigants were seen at the premises of Area 11, Garki Headquarters office and the Area 3 Headquarters annexe of the court in Abuja on Tuesday either going for proceedings or filing processes.
