CONUA Distances Itself from ASUU Strike, Orders Members to Continue Work

The Congress of University Academics (CONUA) has announced that it is not part of the two-week warning strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

In a statement issued on Sunday by its National President, Comrade ‘Niyi Sunmonu, CONUA dismissed reports linking it to the strike, describing them as “misinformation” causing unnecessary confusion among students and staff. “CONUA has not declared any strike action and is not part of any ongoing strike,” Sunmonu stated.

The union directed all its members across Nigerian universities to continue with their teaching, research, and administrative duties without interruption.

It also urged Vice-Chancellors to ensure protection and support for its members who remain committed to academic and institutional activities.

Reaffirming its stance, CONUA emphasized its dedication to academic stability, excellence, and constructive engagement with the government and other education stakeholders.
