FG presents certificate of registration to ASUU faction
The federal government has presented a certificate of registration to the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA).
Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment, presented the certificate to CONUA on Tuesday.
CONUA is a breakaway faction of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Ngige also presented a certificate of registration to the National Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA).
The development comes amid a strike by ASUU over the demand for increased funding for public universities, a review of lecturers’ salaries and allowances, among other issues.
The strike has lasted for over seven months.
Meetings between the federal government and ASUU have not yielded any concrete result that signifies that the strike will end soon.
