Mr Ngige said the alleged lack of democracy, transparency and failure to render proper account of check-off dues by ASUU gave room for the recognition of the new unions
The Nigerian government has finalised the registration process of two recently registered academic unions in Nigerian universities- Congress of Nigerian University Academics , and National Association of Medical and Dental Academics .
Following irreconcilable differences, some aggrieved ASUU members, led by the current National Coordinator of CONUA, ‘Niyi Sunmonu, formed CONUA and applied for registration with the government in 2018. “Prior to 2020, CONUA had approached the ministry complaining of lack of democracy, transparency in the leadership of ASUU, especially in rendering proper account of their check-up dues remitted from government,” he said. “Based on these grievances the ministry decided to register the members of CONUA to operate as a full-fledged union for which we have issued a certificate of registration and gazetting which is part of section 3:2 of the ITUC.
Mr Sunmonu, who claimed that the highhandedness of ASUU’s leadership was what gave birth to CONUA, also protested the continued remittance of its members’ check-off dues to ASUU.
