Nigerian university lecturers under the breakaway union, the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) has threatened to drag the Nigerian government to court over their withheld salaries after the eight months strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) from which CONUA was formed amid the industrial action. CONUA in a statement on Tuesday expressed its disappointment with the Nigerian government, especially the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige over the non-payment of its members’ withheld salaries.
With the insistence of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) that the Federal Government must pay the withheld salaries of their members, the two unions may soon close ranks against the government to push through their demand.
