Former President of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof.
Festus Iyayi, died a sad man over the
way the Goodluck Jonathan
administration is treating the education
sector.
Iyayi, 66, who died Tuesday in a road
accident on his way to Kano for the now-
postponed National Executive Council
meeting of ASUU, was so embittered that
he described the administration as one
that is “shameless and has no honour”
during his last public outing as an
activist.
Characteristic of him, Iyayi was in the
forefront during a protest staged in
Benin by the University of Benin
(UNIBEN) chapter of ASUU on October 24
to sensitise the public on why the union
has remained on strike since July 1 over
government’s failure to honour the 2009
agreement signed with ASUU.
Reporting on that protest, the Lagos-
based PM NEWS said the award-winning
novelist took a swipe at the chairman of
the federal government negotiating team
and Governor of Benue State, Mr.
Gabriel Suswan whom he claimed has
turned himself into contractor, saying,
“Even Suswan had said he would
personally build and supervise the
hostels at an outrageous rate from the
proceeds of the proposed N100 billion.”
Iyayi, according to the paper, wondered
why President Jonathan would chair the
commissioning and fund raising for a
private tertiary institution when public
universities have been on strike for four
months, saying: “This government is
shameless and has no honour.”
Iyayi’s death in an accident involving
the convoy of Governor Idris Wada of
Kogi State, has forced the indefinite
postponement of the ASUU NEC Meeting
to deliberate on President Jonathan’s
fresh offer to end the five-month strike.

RIP Festus Iyayi. The nutcase & retard rulers at the centre know how to haunt their critics with ruthless efficiency far more than they do (and even care less) to check treasury looters & terror.
This is an easy reminder of Azazi who also met his death while travelling with a gov'nor, after he made some shocking revelations.

So he was on his way to say no to resumption?Karma.

Abegii, make he go dey speak his mind for heaven..

Ghost no dey follow person wey dey alive do convo!
