The leadership of Congress of Nigerian University Academics CONUA has distanced itself from a news report titled “VC says ASUU, CONUA reconciliation ongoing” published by Punch and Vanguard and credited to the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti.
The union in a statement signed by its National President,Comrade ‘Niyi Sunmonu, stated that since this news was reported, other news outlets have been reaching out to leadership of CONUA on the truthfulness or otherwise of the information.
“Members of the public should note that CONUA doesn’t have anything to do with this. It’s just the opinion of the Vice Chancellor. The hierarchy of our union is not in anyway involved in this conversation. We are focused on nurturing and building CONUA. As you know, CONUA affiliation with the Trade Union Congress (TUC) was just announced. We are marching forward and no going back”CONUA said.
