The Federal Government on Tuesday broke the ranks of The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) when it registered two unions in the university system.

The unions are the National Association of Medical and Dental Academics, NAMDA, and the Congress of Nigerian University Academics, CONUA.

The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, explained that the two bodies will exist alongside ASUU.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14, 2022 as lecturers of public universities protest unpaid allowances and demand better welfare package from the Federal Government.
