The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has lambasted the Federal Government for registering the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA) and Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) as trade unions.
NLC President Ayuba Wabba who said this at “A Roundtable On Decent Work Situation in Nigeria” in Abuja, argued that the registration of CONUA in particular was in violation of the nation’s labour laws.
Addressing reporters, Wabba warned that the registration of the two unions would create chaos and confusion in the university system, and said that the NLC would officially write Labour and Employment Minister Chris Ngige to draw his attention to the violations of the provisions of the Labour laws.
