FG Registers Breakaway ASUU Faction CONUA, One Other

Federal Government has registered the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) on Tuesday.

 

CONUA is the splinter group of the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

 

The group had opposed the union’s on-going strike which began on February 14 and has been battling to gain recognition from FG since 2017.

 

The minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige presented the certificate and a copy of the trade Union act to the group at his office in Abuja.

 

The government also approved the registration of the Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) as a trade union.
