It looks to be a dialectal difference. I learned 'noo-ah' in school also. The sole recording on Forvo pronounces the a: http://forvo.com/word/nua/#ga but on Teanglann only the Ulster speaker does so, with the Munster and Connacht speakers saying 'noo': http://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/nua .
Listen to all of the other phrases on teanglann.ie that include nua - in many of them the Munster speaker pronounces the a in nua.
