The registration of Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA) and National Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) has unsettled the labour movement.

While the consistent locking of the gates of federal universities looks unsavoury, the registration of CONUA and NAMDA is seen within the labour community as unwelcome.

For those who argued that NASU and SSANU should be seen in the same light, Makolo explained: “When properly examined, you will find that SSANU did not emanate from NASU. NASU is an old union. SSANU used to be a part of the Senior Staff Association of Universities’ Teaching Hospitals Research Institutes and Associated Institutions in the university system. That was what collapsed into SSANU. So, it is wrong to cite SSANU and NASU as the same thing with the emergence of CONUA.

He argued that how the Minister went about to justify his action gives him away as someone that wants to curb the excesses of ASUU, not that he wants the new unions to be in existence primarily to protect the interest of its members. “For me, the act is a pure witch-hunting exercise,” he added. Esele said he was full of optimism that both ASUU and CONUA can still work together for the benefit of their members. Asked if this government has successfully weaved a roadmap of weakening unions that subsequent governments would follows, Esele replied that he did not think so.

The former PENGASSAN President called for the unification of all trade unions in all sectors of the economy to make negotiations easy for their leaderships.
