In order to decimate the influence of Academic Staff Union of Universities,the Federal Government on Tuesday presented certificates of registration to the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA) and the National Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA), two breakaway factions of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Minister of labour and employment, Dr Chris Ngige did the presentation, in an apparent move to break the resolve of the striking union.
Ngige explained that the two bodies will exist along aside ASUU.
CONUA, a separate body of academic unions with a presence in a few federal universities, is led by its National Coordinator, ‘Niyi Sunmonu, a lecturer at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.
