Fellow colleagues, we need prayerHope of a possible suspension of the ongoing
strike by university teachers this week dimmed
on Tuesday as a former National President of
the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof.
Festus Iyayi, died in an accident involving a
vehicle in the convoy of the Kogi State
Governor, Captain Idris Wada (retd.).
Iyayi, a professor of Business Administration
and Head of the Department of Business
Administration, University of Benin, died at 66.
His death made ASUU to postpone its
National Executive Committee meeting
scheduled for the Bayero University, Kano to
discuss the position of its over 50 branches on
the offer made to the union by the Federal
Government.
Iyayi, a member of the negotiating team of
ASUU, was travelling to Kano in company with
the Benin Zonal Coordinator of the union, Dr.
Sunny Iyalo; the National Welfare Officer, Dr.
Ngozi Ilo, and the University of Benin Chairman
of ASUU, Dr. Anthony Monye-Emina, for the
NEC meeting when the accident happened.
Eyewitnesses told one of our correspondents
that the accident happened at Banda, a village
about three kilometres to Lokoja.
He said the last police vehicle in the convoy
of the governor lost control and hit the ASUU
leaders’ vehicle, thus setting it on a fatal
somersault.
When the dust raised by the impact settled,
Iyayi had died while Ilo was badly injured.
Iyalo and Monye-Emina, were however lucky
as they escaped with minor wounds.
Ilo was rushed to the Lokoja General Hospital.
The survivors were said to have called the
ASUU leaders from Ibadan Zone who were
some kilometres behind them for help.
The Chairman, Lagos State University branch
of the union, Dr. Fikayo Idris, who was in the
Ibadan Zone team’s vehicle with the National
Vice-President of ASUU, Prof. Biodun
Ogunyemi, and others, expressed sadness
over the incident and the uncaring attitude of
those in the convoy.
He said no vehicle in the governor’s convoy
waited to see what had happened to the
ASUU chiefs.
“The accident happened around 11am on
Tuesday but you won’t believe that the convoy
did not stop. All the vehicles just zoomed off
only for them to come back later for their
injured persons in the police vehicle.
Idris added that they had to wait for an
ambulance from the UNIBEN Teaching Hospital
to take the remains of Iyayi to Benin.”
Also, Prof. Friday Okonofua of UNIBEN
accused Wada of causing the professor’s
death.
He said, “It is the governor’s reckless convoy
that killed one of our most distinguished
academics, who has won laurels all over the
world.”
But the Special Adviser, Media and Strategy to
the Kogi State Governor, Mr. Jacob Edi,
denied the accusation.
He claimed that he did not only stop at the
scene of the accident, he also ordered the
medical personnel in the ambulance in the
convoy to attend to the victims.
In a telephone interview with one of our
correspondents, Edi said the accident occurred
when the vehicle conveying the ASUU officials
was trying to avoid a trailer and in the process
rammed into the last vehicle in Wada’s convoy.
He said, “We know that when a human life is
lost, it will not be fair to play politics. Truly,
there was an accident. The bus which was
conveying the ASUU members was trying to
avoid a trailer and in the process collided with
the last escort vehicle in the governor’s
convoy.
“The Lokoja-Abuja Expressway right now is
under construction. That road is very narrow.
It is unfortunate that we have to exchange
words on an issue like this. But when the
collision occurred, the governor stopped and
directed the medical team in the ambulance
which was part of the convoy to attend to
the victims.
“As soon as the governor got to Lokoja and
was fully briefed on the situation, he quickly
went to the Federal Medical Centre where the
ASUU victims were hospitalised to sympathise
with them and take care of their welfare.”
The special adviser also said, “The governor
has also ordered an investigation into the
immediate and remote causes of the accident
because he is very bitter and pained by this
development.”
He added, “No human being
