SUIT NO: NICN/JOS/47/2013: MR. REUBEN AWANYE ITRUMA vs NVIR: JUDGMENT NOT OBEYED TILL DATE

By: Amb. Valentine Adese (JP),

The Judgment delivered by Hon. Justice R. H. Gwandu, on 22nd June 2017, in Suit No: NICN/JOS/47/2013, filed by Mr.  Reuben Awanye Itruma, challenging the stoppage of his salary and sack by the National Veterinary Research (NVRI) VOM and the Governing Council is yet to be obeyed by the Defendants till date. REALITY gathered.

You would recall that the Court of Appeal, Jos Division, had dismissed Appeal No: CA/J/276/2018, filed by NVIR, for being unmeritorious in its Judgment delivered on Tuesday, 8th of August 2022.


You would recall that the lower court had declared in its judgment that the purported stoppage of the salary of the Claimant without any reason being given by the Respondent and without hearing the Claimant is Unconstitutional, null, void and of no effect and a breach of the Claimant’s fundamental right to fair hearing.
