The Court of Appeal sitting in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, yesterday upturned the ruling of the Ilorin Federal High Court in a suit between the University of Ilorin and its employees.

Some documents tendered by the varsity in a case filed against it by 26 sacked teachers of the institution’s secondary school, have not been admitted as exhibits by the court. 

The teachers sued the institution, seeking for their reinstatement and payment of all salaries and allowances from 2007 to date.

The teachers, whose  appointments were terminated in August 2007,  instituted a suit against the institution for what they called ‘wrongful termination of appointment’. 

The affected teachers claimed the procedure for terminating their appointments, which was regulated by the University of Ilorin Act and other Conditions of Service, was wrong and unconstitutional.
