NLC also presented evidence that the Ministry Ngige pilots today had in 2013 under former Minister of Labour, Chief Emeka Wogu and the Registrar of Trade Union, Mrs N. Mbogu, turned down the registration of the Academic Staff Union of Inter-University Centres who were members already in the existing Academic Staff Union of Research Institutions.
