Justice Onyekachi noted that “there must be an end to litigation on a particular issue and it was honourable for the appellants to obey the previous decisions of the court on the matter rather than raising it afresh as if nothing had ever happened on the same issue”.
Olayiwola also submitted that it was the board of trustees that should have been joined as defendants and not individuals listed by the appellants.In 2002, the secondary school teachers in Nasarawa state had approached the High Court in Lafia in Suit no NSD/ LF/9/2002 to challenge the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT that it had no right to deduct check-off dues from their hard-earned salaries having withdrawn from the body and joined the then Conference of Secondary School Teachers.
