Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Minister of Labour
and Employment, Chris Ngige, is set to issue a certificate of recognition to a
factional trade union in the university system, the Congress of Nigerian
University Academics (CONUA).
The move, it was gathered, may not be unconnected with the
lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) which has
spanned more than seven months.
Our reporter gathered the information through a press
invitation extended to reporters covering the sector on Tuesday.
The invitation issued by Oshundun Olajide, Deputy
Director/Head Press and Public Relations of the Ministry, reads, “The Honorable
Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, cordially invites you to
the recognition and presentation of Certificate of Registration to the Congress
of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA).
Recall also that the Federal Government, through the
National Industrial Court, had ordered the striking academic staff union to
return to work, a judgement that ASUU is reported to have filed an appeal
against.
