In a bold to put an end to the monopolistic stranglehold of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the Federal Government on Tuesday approved the registration of Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA).
The government also approved the registration of the Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) as a trade union.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige announced this on Tuesday in Abuja.
He said the two unions would operate along with ASUU.
