The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has called on the Academic Staff Union of Universities to approach the court of law if it feels aggrieved over the registration of the two newly registered unions – Congress for Nigerian University Academics and the Nigeria Association of Medical and Dental Academics – in the university system.
The minister made this known in a statement signed by the Head of Public Relations of the ministry of labour, Olajide Oshundun.
However, in a letter to Ngige, the Nigerian Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba, demanded for the withdrawal of the letters issued to the unions, on the grounds that their registration contravened the laws guiding trade unionism.
However, Today Dr. Ngige noted that ASUU was free to approach the court if it feels aggrieved.
