The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has said that the union will sue the Federal Government over the registration of the Congress of Nigerian Universities Academics (CONUA) and the National Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA).
ASUU’s lead counsel, Femi Falana, disclosed this while appearing on Channel TV, on Thursday.
He said; “ASUU is going to court. It is going to be the National Industrial Court (NIC).”
CEOAFRICA had reported that the Minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige, had on Tuesday presented certificates of registration to CONUA and NAMDA.
Ngige, while presenting the certificate of registration to the two unions, noted that the two bodies will exist along aside ASUU.  
The former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, in an interview with Arise Television also accused Ngige of complicating matters.
He said; “He took the matter to the industrial court and the decision has been appealed by ASUU and now, he has registered two unions while trying to proscribe ASUU. If this is allowed by this government, I think it is a recipe for disaster and it may really create more problems than it can solve on this matter of strike action.”
