ASUU Strike Update: "ASUU NEC Meeting Not Postponed Indefinitely" - Chairman

The Chairman of Academic Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi,
Dr Lawan Abubakar has described the media reports that
the union had postponed its National Executive Committee
meeting indefinitely as false and speculative. This was even
as he dismissed the claim that the union had accepted the
N1.3 trillion offered by the Federal Government, saying
"what the union is agitating for is the full implementation of
the 2009 agreement and nothing less."

Abubakar said in an interview with Vanguard, yesterday, in
Bauchi that the National Executive Committee of the union
only adjourned its meeting for seven days to enable it
mourn Prof Festus Iyayi who died in an auto crash involving
the entourage of the Kogi State Governor, Capt. Idris
Wada, adding that the members were awaiting further
directives from its national leadership on a new date for the
NEC meeting.
