NLC fumes over alleged plots to de register ASUU, Writes FG

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, yesterday warned against reported moves by the Federal Government to withdraw the registration license of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, over non-submission of its audited financial returns  for over five year.

While dismissing the claims that ASUU had not submitted its audited financial returns to the Registrar of Trade Unions for over five years as required by the law, NLC insisted that the Union has submitted all its financial reports up till 2021.

Reacting to media report that the federal government may withdraw ASUU’s registration because of the alleged infractions, NLC however alleged that ASUU submitted its financial reports twice, but were deliberately rejected.

In the letter to the Registrar of Trade Unions and copied the Minister of Labour and Employment, President of NLC, Ayuba Wabba, warned against moves to de-register or withdraw ASUU’s registration license.
