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 honor 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...
