The National Coordinator, Congress of University Academics (CONUA), Dr Niyi Sunmonu, on Tuesday said the body will work towards ensuring that the nation is no longer traumatized by academic union dislocations.
He made the promise in a statement in Osogbo shortly after the federal government presented a certificate of registration to CONUA.
He stated that the registration of CONUA as a trade union is monumentally historic.m, describing it as “the validation of the power of the human will.”
Nothing that the union has been on the struggle since 2018, Sunmonu said “it asserts the value of courage, initiative, focus, tenacity, patience, forbearance and persistent positive thinking.”
“We are immensely grateful to the Honourable Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, and his team of diligent staff for insisting on merit, due process and thoroughness all through the processing of our application for the registration of DrUA. The very strict and dispassionate review of our application brought out the best in the membership of the Union.
