Court strikes out JAMB worker’s suit for failure to tender condition of service

The National Industrial Court, Abuja, on Friday struck out a
suit filed against the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board
(JAMB), for failure of the claimant to tender terms and conditions
of his service.

The claimant, Abdullahi Shehu, approached the court to declare
his dismissal unlawful, reinstate him, as well as order payment of
his salaries and entitlements.

In her judgment, Justice Rakiya Haastrup ,said the failure of
the claimant to tender the said terms and conditions of service as
material evidence of fact to determine whether or not his dismissal
was unlawful has truncated his case.

Haastrup further said that the inability of the claimant to
present the condition of service made it difficult for the court to
determine whether or not the conditions were breached in his
dismissal.

Mumini Hanafi, the claimant’s counsel told the court that his
client’s dismissal was unlawful because his employment letter
states that ” the board will review his employment from time to
time”.

Hanafi in addition said as at the time the claimant was
dismissed, JAMB did not have a governing board, therefore, the
terms and conditions of service as stipulated by his employment
letter was breached.

Adedoyin Adejunmobi, the defence counsel, in his submission said
the claimant was dismissed over his engagement in unauthorised
admission regulation exercise in 2016.

He said that the claimant was issued a query, faced a
disciplinary panel which indicted him and was subsequently
dismissed from the service of the board.

Newsmen recall that a similar suit filed against JAMB by a
dismissed worker was struck out on Tuesday by the same court over
the failure of the claimant to tender his employment letter.
