Ngige stated that the two unions, the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA) and the Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA)) was regrouped from the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), because of several letters written to the Ministry of Labour and Employment by former ASUU members, complaining of mistreatment and, declaring their rejection of ASUU’s modus-operandi.
Ngige further said that the unions now have equal rights with ASUU and will be invited to all events and negotiations involving university lecturers. He added that there are now three unions in Nigeria’s tertiary education and that ASUU will no longer be the only voice that speaks for Nigerian lecturers.
He also added that the unions applied for registration in 2017 and 2018 respectively. He also insisted that the registration of the two unions doesn’t mean that ASUU no longer exist or that they will not enjoy their rights
National Coordinator of CONUA, Niyi Sumonu assured the Minister that they will work to ensure that this country is not truamatised again by strike.
He said that its members were never on strike, adding that they would appreciate if the federal government will prevail on the school authorities to reopen the institutions for normal academic activities.
President of NAMDA Dase Lancy Oriue said the registration had given medical and dental academicians in the university and other tertiary institutions where training of medical students and postgraduate doctors takes place a legal voice in the determination of the training requirements, management of the training system, and the welfare of her members.
He explained that Medicine and Dentistry are very sensitive professions which require a well programmed, uninterrupted and hands-on training
“Prior to today, the peculiarity of the medical and dental training was increasingly emasculated triggered by bodies that capitalised on the lack of a voice for medical and dental practitioners in academics particularly in the university system.
“With this registration, a platform has been created for medical trainers/teachers to start the process of gradual reversal to the known normal medical training environment that was punctured in the early 2000s,” he said.
