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
