Brief History of the Union

Cognizant of our fundamental rights as entrenched in Chapter 4, Section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended, we decided to come together as a Union, as categorized in the Trade Union restructuring Gazette No. 6, Vol. 65 of 8th February, 1978. As an independent trade Union body, we chose for ourselves Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) in 1992. It was formally registered as such in 2010 by the Office of the Registrar of Trade Unions in Nigeria, with Registration No. 0115.
