Nigeria's Court of Appeal on Friday ordered public university lecturers to end their strike for better working conditions in the next seven days before it will hear their appeal against a ruling by a lower court.
The lecturers, who have been striking since February, last month appealed a lower court ruling ordering them to suspend their action.
Three judges of the Court of Appeal said the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) should first obey last month's ruling by the National Industrial Court before they would hear the lecturers' appeal.
