In an attempt to clip the wings of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ( ASUU), the Federal Government on Tuesday approved the registration of Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA), a breakaway faction of ASUU.
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.
