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 one of our correspondents 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.”
It will be recalled that ASUU had suspended indefinitely it
NEC meeting where decision to either end or continue the
lingering strike will be taken due to the death of Late Prof.
Festus Iyayi, a former ASUU president.
Details soon.

we shall see
