The Academic Staff Union of Secondary School (ASUSS), has commended the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, for finally granting recognition to the trade union despite the alleged virulent deregistration plot against it by rival unions.
ASUSS also saluted the Supreme Court of Nigeria, for proving the judiciary, the last hope of the common man, by upholding its appeal in a judgment delivered on 15th January 2021, where it held that ASUSS’ registration didn’t contravene the trade union statutes.
This was contained in a statement titled: ‘A woeful Cry; Agony of a loser’ signed by ASUSS National Secretary, Com Sola Adigun and made available to journalists, in Ado Ekiti, on Saturday.

The Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS) has asked the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) to embrace peace as the union has come to stay.
National President of ASUSS, Mr Samuel Omaji, and the Secretary-General of the union, Mr Sola Adigun, said this in a statement made available to newsmen in Lagos as a reaction to NUT claim that ASUSS is not (and can never be) a trade union in Nigeria.
The duo described the NUT position as laughable.
They said it was not only that NUT had lost grip over the secondary school teachers in no fewer than 25 out of the 36 states of the federation, but it also lacks the constitutional power to determine its existence or otherwise.
