ASUU Postpones NEC Meeting Over Iyayi's Death
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has postponed its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, which was supposed to hold today, due to the loss of one of it's prominent member, former president of the union Professor Festus Iyayi.
He died in an auto crash on Lokoja-Abuja Expressway, on his way to the Kano, yesterday, for the union’s meeting.
The decision to call off or continue the four months old strike embarked upon by the University lecturers was expected to be made at the meeting which would have held yesterday but for Iyayi’s death.
The union called for the meeting after fresh negotiations with the president, where the government was said to have shown commitment to ending the strike by improving on earlier offers.
Meanwhile, a student, who preferred not to be named, expressed sadness over the development.
"We are not happy with the situation because we have overstayed at home" the student said.
