An impeccable source, one of the
prominent leaders of Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU, who
pleaded anonymity because he was not
authorized to comment on this yet has
disclosed to one of our correspondents
that the suspended ASUU Nation
Executive Committee, NEC meeting
earlier postponed in honour of Late
Prof. Festus Iyayi, a renown novelist,
former ASUU president and prominent
leader of ASUU may be reconvened on
Saturday.
He reiterated that the news of of Prof
Iyayi’s sudden death came as a rude
shock to the union; most painfully,
Late Iyayi was on ASUU official
assignment when he met his gruesome
and untimely death, so there was
nothing the Union could do to honour
the late hero at the point than to put
on hold it NEC meeting scheduled to
hold in Kano. “There is strong
indication that the NEC meeting will be
reconvened on Saturday”. He further
stated in strong term that unless ASUU
leaders re-decides, the NEC meeting
will hold on Saturday.
When asked if the strike will actually
be suspended, he said: “I think so,
judging by reports from the Monday
congresses we held simultaneously, the
union may suspend the strike on
Saturday or Sunday.”
It will be recalled that ASUU had
suspended indefinitely it NEC meeting
where decision to either end or
continue the lingering strike will be
taken due to the death of Late Prof.
Festus Iyayi, a former ASUU president.
Details Soon
