An impeccable source, one of the prominent leaders of Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU, who pleaded anonymity because he was not
authorized to comment on this yet has disclosed to newsmen that the
suspended ASUU Nation Executive Committee, NEC meeting earlier postponed
in honour of Late Prof. Festus Iyayi, a renown novelist, former ASUU
president and prominent leader of ASUU may be reconvened on Saturday.
He reiterated that the news of of Prof Iyayi’s sudden death came as a
rude shock to the union; most painfully, Late Iyayi was on ASUU
official assignment when he met his gruesome and untimely death, so
there was nothing the Union could do to honour the late hero at the
point than to put on hold it NEC meeting scheduled to hold in Kano.
“There is strong indication that the NEC meeting will be reconvened on
Saturday”. He further stated in strong term that unless ASUU leaders
re-decides, the NEC meeting will hold on Saturday.
When asked if the strike will actually be suspended, he said: “I
think so, judging by reports from the Monday congresses we held
simultaneously, the union may suspend the strike on Saturday or Sunday.
The source further revealed that one is yet not sure if they will call of first, because at some congresses most universities agreed to call of, but on the condition that their 3 months salary be paid, so Asuu will first take this offer to F.g as to the payment of their salaries befor calling off
Till they do so we wait and hope for the best
