The National Industrial Court imposed the order 7 December and today, it extended it, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive case.
The court presided over by Justice Babatunde refused attempts by the state government to commence the hearing of the suit as there was no proof of service on the leaders of the workers union before the court.
He urged the state government to seek amicable resolution of the trade dispute and invoked section 20 of the National Industrial Court Act 2006, which recommends out of court settlement between parties, with a view to ending the Seven months old strike in the state.
The court also ordered for the publication of the next adjourned date of January 7th 2013, on two national dailies, one week from today, copies of which must be deposited before the court registry as proof of substituted means of service against the organised labour who were not in court
Speaking on efforts aimed at amicable settlement of the matter, the Secretary to the state government, Prof. Shedrack Best, said government had made concerted efforts through the state house of assembly, Plateau state Elders committee and religious leaders, made to reach a peaceful resolution of the dispute
