LAGOS — THE Court of Appeal in Lagos has struck out an application by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, paving the way for the enforcement of a judgment ordering the reinstatement of a former employee, Mrs Annastasia Anukwa, whose dismissal was declared unlawful.
A three-member panel of the appellate court comprising Justices Folasade Ojo, Muslim Hassan and Polycarp Kwahar struck out NCAA’s motion on April 23, 2026, for want of diligent prosecution.
The court noted that counsel to the applicant had been duly served with a hearing notice on April 20, 2026, but failed to pursue the application.
