The Congress of University Academics (CONUA) has asked the federal government to conclude its registration.
CONUA has been seeking formal recognition for about four years since its members broke away from the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
It was formed as a parallel academic staff union at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in February 2018, following a leadership crisis that rocked the university’s ASUU at the time.
During that ASUU-OAU face-off, CONUA members accused the current ASUU National President, Emmanuel Osodeke, of worsening the crisis. Mr Osodeke, who was not ASUU president then, denied the allegation.
“Let me tell you a secret today… For the past three years, another association of university teachers has met all the requirements for registration. They are there at the ministry of labour, CONUA –Congress of University Academics– we have not registered them, we just respect ASUU. We don’t want to be seen as the one breaking ASUU,” Mr Keyamo said when he featured on a programme on Arise TV.
