The meeting was suspended to honour
Festus Iyayi. The Academic Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, has suspended its National
Executive Council, NEC, meeting initially
scheduled to hold at Bayero University,
Kano, on Wednesday. The meeting was
suspended indefinitely. The ASUU National President, Nasiru
Fagge, stated this on Wednesday
afternoon. The meeting was suspended because of
the death of Festus Iyayi, a former ASUU
President, who died in a car accident on
Tuesday on his way to the NEC meeting. Mr. Iyayi was involved in a ghastly auto
accident allegedly caused by the convoy of
the Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada. Several members of the executive council
from various universities across Nigeria
were already in Kano for the meeting. ASUU has been on strike since July 1 and
the NEC meeting was to deliberate on the
resolutions of various chapters of ASUU
on whether the strike should be
suspended or not. Details later…
