The application was argued by Tijani Gazali (SAN), Acting Director (Civil Appeals) at the Federal Ministry of Justice.

Justice Kanyip specified that the order would remain in effect until the determination of a motion on notice for interlocutory injunctions, which was also filed by the AGF.

The judge asserted that the court is empowered under Sections 7(1) and 19(a) of the NICN Establishment Act to hear such ex-parte applications and grant ex-parte orders when a strike is threatened but has not yet commenced, as is the case in this instance.
