“The federal government will no longer tolerate a strike that does not pass through due process,” said labour minister Chris Ngige.
The union’s president, Emmanuel Osodeke, on Friday announced the suspension of the strike which began on February 14 in deference to the ruling of the court.
The labour minister further said “I’m not active in politics for now because I am facing national assignment. I will make my choice with the ballot.”
Mr Ngige said that the Nigerian government had introduced the school feeding programme to lure children engaged in child labour, back to school.
The lawmaker said that President Muhammadu Buhari was eager to bring the over eight-month-old strike to an end.
The factional unions are National Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) and the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA).
The union said the two weeks ultimatum given to the federal government to resolve the crisis had elapsed.
Mr Ngige said the injunction does not foreclose further negotiations.
NANS said their plan of shutting down the airports was so that the federal government can in turn experience their suffering in the last seven months.
The Buhari regime on Monday urged the National Industrial Court to order the Academic Staff Union of Universities to call off its seven-month strike.
