New Year 2023 Message from CONUA

Happy New Year to all our highly esteemed colleagues and the entire citizenry of our dear nation. We are grateful for all the endearing memories of the year 2022 which we share and which we worked together to build. Of particular significance is the registration of our dear association, the Congress of University Academics (CONUA), as a Trade Union in the Nigerian university system. As we enter year 2023, we invite all stakeholders to re-commit to the advancement of university education in the country.

As we look forward with hope, let us be reminded that Nigeria’s 2023 general elections are just a few months away, and new leaders will take on the mantle of leadership in some states and particularly at the national level. The end of President Muhammad Buhari’s administration will mark twenty four years of unbroken civil leadership in Nigeria – the longest of such periods of democratic governance in the nation’s chequered history. As patriotic citizens, we must resolve that this democratic experience must continue and play our part in its enhancement for the overall progress of our dear country.

Once more, Happy New Year to you all!

Dr. ‘Niyi Sunmonu
President, CONUA
1st January, 2023
