The Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment on Tuesday empowered the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) and the National Association of Medical Doctors in Academics (NAMDA) with copies of their certificate of registration, charging them to fully operate as trade unions in the education sector.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, who moderated the certificate issuance ceremony in his office in Abuja, hinted that the registration of the two unions followed due process and smoothly as the “Labour Ministry received no letter from any existing union rejecting the registration of CONUA and NAMDA even when the gazetting of the union was published in the national dailies.”
