The chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in the University of Ibadan, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, has described stories which made the rounds on Saturday, especially on social media, that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the union was meeting in Kano on Saturday as rumours and untrue.
He said in an interview monitored on Diamond FM, University of Ibadan, that there was no meeting scheduled by the union for Saturday as they were still observing seven days of mourning in honour of the late former national chairman of the union, Festus Iyayi; who played a major role in d semi-resolution of the crises between the federal government and ASUU
It would be recalled that NEC members of the union were on their way to the Bayero University, Kano, where they were expected to take a final decision on whether to continue with their strike or accept the FG’s offer, when the fatal and tragic crash which took the life of Iyayi occurred.
This is further bad news for students who had hoped the strike would have been called off on or before Monday, the 18th of November 2013
