In the interest of Nigerian students, ASUU Strike might end on Monday
according to reports, An impeccable source, which is 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 newsmen 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 who was killed while on his way to Kano to attend ASUU NEC meeting by the Convoy of Kogi State Governor, Dr. Idris Wade on Tuesday.
