Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, the
chairman of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, in the University of
Ibadan, has confirmed 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 today, 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. -DAILYPOST
