The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), under the leadership of Dr. (Prof.) Bala Mohammed Audu, extends heartfelt congratulations to Professor Chris Piwuna on his election as President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Professor Piwuna’s emergence is not only a personal triumph but a moment of collective pride for the Nigerian medical Association and the academic communities. As a distinguished psychiatrist and seasoned academic leader, his journey reflects the resilience, integrity, and commitment required to lead in challenging times.
His election comes at a critical juncture for our nation’s university system, and the NMA stands in full solidarity with ASUU as it continues to champion the rights and welfare of academic staff and the transformation of higher education in Nigeria.

We are confident that Professor Piwuna’s principled leadership will bring renewed energy to the cause of educational reform and that his tenure will open new avenues for collaboration between ASUU and professional bodies like the NMA in shaping national discourse, promoting research, and raising professional standards for global competitiveness.
In unity and shared purpose, we celebrate this milestone and stand ready to work together in building a stronger, more equitable future for Nigeria’s educational and healthcare systems.
