The Congress of University Academics, CONUA, has faulted the dissolution of the Governing Councils of federal universities by President Bola Tinubu, saying it is totally against the provisions of the Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Amendment) Act 2003.

The union, a registered academic staff union in the university system, also lambasted the National Universities Commission, NUC, over its introduction of new curriculum for the nation’s universities, saying the action erodes the autonomy granted the universities by relevant laws.

According to the National President of CONUA, Dr Niyi Sunmonu, in a statement on Sunday, the steps by the President and the NUC were flagrantly opposed to the provisions of extant laws governing the administration of the universities.
