A breakaway faction of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, the Congress of Nigerian University Academics, has dissociated itself from the ongoing strike in Nigerian universities.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Niyi Sunmonu, and the National Publicity Secretary, Ernest Nwoke in Abuja.
The union reiterated that it was not a part of the decision to embark on the ongoing strike by ASUU.
The union also announced its independence as a union of academics in Nigerian universities.
CONUA said it believed that strikes had a crippling effect on the Nigerian university system.
It added that the negative effects of the strikes had always been greater than their positive outcomes.
