The government also approved the registration of the Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) as a trade union.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige announced this on Tuesday in Abuja.

He said the two unions would operate along with ASUU.

Senator Ngige did the presentation, in an apparent move to break the resolve of the striking union. Ngige explained that the two bodies will exist along aside from ASUU.

Confirming the development on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, the Ministry of Labour tweeted: “#HappeningNow FG presents Certificates of Registration to 2 new Sub-unions in the Academic Sector, Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA) and National Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA)”.
