ASUU faction seeks liberalisation of varsity academic unions

A faction of striking Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has called for liberalisation of university academic unions to end incessant strike in the nation’s public universities.

To this end, the faction operating on the platform of Congress of University Academics, CONUA, has appealed to the Federal Government through the Ministry of Labour and Employment, to immediately register it as a trade union to break the monopoly being currently enjoined by ASUU.

The group, which accused ASUU of using strike as only tool to resolve its issues with the government, said such development must stop as, according to it, there were many ways of resolving issues.
