ASUU STRIKE UPDATE: NEC MEETING SUSPENDED DUE TO IYAYI'S DEATH

The National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the Academic Staff Union
of Universities, ASUU, has been
suspended indefinitely.
The meeting was initially scheduled
to hold at Bayero University, Kano,
on Wednesday, but the ASUU
National President, Nasiru Fagge, has
revealed that it has been
postponed.
The reason for its suspension
is because of the death of
Professor Festus Iyayi, who was a
former president of ASUU. Iyayi died
in a car crash allegedly caused by
the convoy of the Kogi State
Governor, Idris Wada on Tuesday,
while travelling for the NEC meeting.
Several members of the executive
council from various universities
from all over the country, were
already in Kano for the meeting,
where they were expected to
deliberate on the resolutions of
various chapters of ASUU, on
whether or not the strike should be
called off.
May His Gentle Soul Rest In Peace...
