The Federal Government has broken the ranks of the Academic Staff Union Of Universities (ASUU) as it registered two unions in the university system.
The unions are the National Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) and the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA).
The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, explained that the two bodies will exist alongside ASUU.

He further stated that the two associations will enjoy the rights and privileges accorded to other academic unions in the tertiary education system.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14, 2022, as lecturers of public universities protest unpaid allowances and demand a better welfare package from the Federal Government.
