Amid the ongoing strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, the Federal Government has registered two unions in the university system.
This move was seen by many as a plot to reduce the influence ASUU has on tertiary institutions.
According to The PUNCH, the newly registered unions are, the National Association of Medical and Dental Academics and the Congress of Nigerian University Academics.
The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige while presenting the certificate of registration to the newly registered bodies stated that the bodies will co-exist with ASUU.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14, 2022, as lecturers of public universities protest unpaid allowances and demand better welfare packages from the Federal Government.
