The Federal High Court in Lagos has struck out a suit by a former Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Dr Monday Ubani.
Ubani, a former Ikeja Branch Chairman of the NBA, filed the suit on December 22, 2021, following the Federal Government’s directive that all civil servants must be compulsorily vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Federal Government were the respondents in the suit numbered FHC/L/CS/1951/2021.
Justice Nicholas Oweibo adjourned the case to June 15, 2022, but the hearing could not proceed because the judge had many rulings and judgments to write within the annual vacation period which commenced in July.
The matter was further adjourned to November 15, 2022, but the court did not sit that day. The case was further adjourned to February 15, 2023.
