ASUU Strike Update: ASUU’s NEC Meeting To Hold After 7 Days Mouring Of Iyayi

Contrary to media reports that the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU was to hold it's National Executives
Committee meeting yesterday, the union leader of
university of Ibadan, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye has claimed that
there was no plan for such meeting.
Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye claimed 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 yesterday, 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. It is hoped that at the expiration of the
7days mourning of Iyayi, the union will reconvene to ratify
decision on the lingering strike that has paralysed the
academic activities of public universities in the country.
