The Federal Government will on Tuesday deliver a certificate of registration to the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA), a breakaway section of ASUU, in an effort to rein in the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Dr. Chris Ngige, minister of labor and employment, will make the presentation.
This was said in an invitation extended to a reporter on Tuesday by Oshundun Olajide, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment’s Deputy Director of Press and Public Relations.
The National Coordinator of CONUA, a split-off group from ASUU having members in a few federal institutions, is Niyi Sunmonu, a lecturer at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.
The message by the Ministry of Labour read: “The Honorable Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige cordially invites you to the recognition and presentation of Certificate of Registration to the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA).
“The Programme is scheduled to hold as follows:
“Date: Tuesday, 4th October 2022
“Venue: Hon. Minister Conference Room, Federal Secretariat, Phase 1, Abuja.
“Time: 2:00pm
“Your media organization is invited to cover the event and strictly by invitation.”
Since February 14, ASUU has gone on strike to emphasize its demands.
The National Industrial Court ordered the institution to resume operations on September 21, 2022, but the university teachers have stayed steadfast.
Last Monday, ASUU appealed the judge’s decision through legal counsel.
