Amid the continued strike, the Federal Government of Nigeria has started the process of deregistering the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Midlandpost learnt that the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA), a breakaway faction of ASUU, has been officially registered as a trade union.
A source at the Ministry of Labour and Employment disclosed on Tuesday that the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, will present a Certificate of Registration to the new union before today runs out.
The official explained that the move by the government is part of processes to deregister ASUU, with a view to checkmating its incessant strikes that have grounded public universities in the last seven months.
“The Minister, on behalf of the federal government will today present the Certificate of Registration to the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA). With that, ASUU may cease to exist again in our universities,” Daily Trust quotes the source as saying.
