JUST IN: Court Rules Against ASUU, Confirms CONUA, NAMDA as Trade Unions
The National Industrial Court (NIC) has dismissed a suit filed by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), challenging the registration of the Congress Of University Academics (CONUA) and the Nigeria Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) as trade unions by the Federal Government.
TrackNews Media reports that Justice Benedict Kanyip, on Tuesday, declared that Section 27 of the Trade Union Act allows for more than one trade union in employment.
The court also held that ASUU did not present evidence to show that CONUA and NAMDA were fully registered when it filed the suit.
The court further held that ASUU committed an error by filing against NAMDA as the National Association of Medical and Dental Academics instead of the Nigeria Association of Medical and Dental Academics.
Justice Kanyip said that NAMDA was not in existence at the time ASUU filed the suit.
All reliefs sought by ASUU were refused, and the suit was dismissed.
