ASUU strike: Union confirms NEC meeting did not hold

Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, the chairman of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, in
the University of Ibadan, has confirmed that
stories which made the rounds on Saturday,
that the National Executive Council, NEC, would
hold an emergency meeting in Kano, were false. Ajiboye was speaking in an interview on
Diamond FM, University of Ibadan and stated
that no meeting was scheduled for today, as
they were still in the middle of a seven-day
morning, which was declared in honour of the
late Professor Festus Iyayi, a former national chairman of the Union. It would be recalled that Iyayi lost his life in a
fatal crash, on his way to Bayero University,
Kano, where members of ASUU were to meet
and reach a final decision, on whether to
continue with the strike or accept the federal
government’s offer.
