The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, on Tuesday (Today), will issue a certificate of recognition to a factional trade union in the University system, the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA).
This was disclosed in an invitation issued by the Deputy Director/Head Press and Public Relations of the Ministry, Oshundun Olajide.
The invitation reads; “The Honorable Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, cordially invites you to the recognition and presentation of Certificate of Registration to the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA).
Meanwhile, there are speculations that the  move may not be unconnected with the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has spanned more than seven months.
