The Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA) has joined the ongoing indefinite industrial action declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
In a statement addressed to members on Monday, CONUA called on all concerned to join the strike in solidarity.
In the statement, CONUA National President, Comrade ‘Niyi Sunmonu, PhD, said: “The national leadership has been meeting and contacting the TUC since yesterday on the strike action declared by the NLC/TUC on the minimum wage.
“We would like our members to know that this is a strike action declared by the two labour centres, one of which our union is affiliated with. CONUA is hereby identifying with this decision of the TUC.
“The national leadership regrets the delay in communicating this position to our teeming members. It was due to the ‘in-house’ clearing procedure.”
