JOHESU Ngige

Federal government of Nigeria has approved the registration of the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA), a breakaway faction of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Gatekeepers News reports that the federal government has also approved the registration of the Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) as a trade union.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige who announced this on Tuesday in Abuja, said the two unions would operate along with ASUU.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14, 2022, as lecturers of public universities protest unpaid allowances and demand better welfare packages from the Federal Government.
