STRIKE Latest: ASUU NEC meeting now
to hold on Saturday
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.
