The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) yesterday described the recognition of the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) by the Federal Government as shadow chasing.
In swift a reaction to the approval granted CONUA by government, ASUU officials told Journalists that it is not perturbed about the action, which would not take away anything from the union
ASUU Lagos Zone Coordinator, Dr. Adelaja Odukoya, said government action is “simply shadow chasing. Leaving leprosy and wasting time on ringworm. Nothing more, nothing else.”
On the claimed by CONUA that members cut-cross 17 universities, Odukoya said: “interesting, he who assert must proof.
According to him, in Nigeria there is Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) and that ASUU is not concern about the recognition.
