Lawyer to Professor Armaya’u Hamisu Bichi, on Tuesday, made an undertaking to the National Industrial Court of Nigeria that his client would comply with the court’s order over the post of Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Dutsinma, Katsina State.

Nasiru Aliyu undertook to inform his client to stop parading himself as the Vice Chancellor of the university following a mandatory interlocutory injunction of May 27, 2020, pending the determination of the main claims.

Justice Oyebiola Oyewumi ordered parties to file and exchange their processes within seven days for the commencement of the hearing.

The action was brought by Professor Haruna Kaita, who was appointed the VC of the institution on February 11, 2016 but was replaced by the Ministry of Education on April 13, 2017.

Kaita said he filed the fresh claims in Abuja after his suspension and replacement as well as stoppage of his salaries despite the pendency of two suits at the National Industrial Court, Kano, challenging the validity of the suspension.

Kaita’s counsel, Abdulsalam Saleh, has also filed a contempt proceeding against Bichi before the court.

The matter was adjourned to July 20 for hearing.
