 ECOWAS Court refuses to review judgment on sack of Commission's Staff


The Court of justice of the Economic Community of West African State has rejected the request by the ECOWAS Commission and its President to review the judgment that nullified their sack of a staff of the Commission, Suleiman Mohammad Hussaini.


The Court had in 2022 held that the appointment of Hussaini, a Controller with the ECOWAS Commission was illegally and unlawfully terminated by the Commission and its President.


In a ruling on the application by the ECOWAS Commission seeking a review of the judgment against it, Justice Dupe Atoki held that the application was inadmissible, lacked merit and dismissed it.


Justice Atoki who is a member of the 3-man panel of Justices that heard the ECOWAS Commission's application said that reasons advanced in the application for review of the judgment delivered on March 10, 2022 was untenabled.


The judgment delivered in the suit marked ECW/CCJ/JUD/03/22 had faulted the termination of appointment of Hussaini as a staff of the ECOWAS Commission carried out on February 27, 2018  and set it aside.


However, two months after the judgment was delivered, the ECOWAS Commission and its President returned to the same Court pleading that the judgment against them be reviewed.


Their claim in the application for judgment review request was that they had stumbled on a fresh fact that Hussaini was charged with criminal offences at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the Federal High Court in Abuja.


The ECOWAS Commission and the President asked the court for an order stopping payment of salaries to Hussaini until the criminal charges against him on alleged financial irregularities are fully determined.


Their grouse was that Hussaini was aware of the criminal charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) but concealed the charges and refused to bring it to the attention of the ECOWAS Commission.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff.
