EducationRe: All ASUU Strike News::1st July-16th December 2013 by tlaret24(m): 7:40am On Nov 29, 2013
ASUU dismisses FG’s threat to sack lecturers.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said the
Federal Government’s December 4 ultimatum issued
to universities teachers to return to the classrooms is
a clear indication that the government is not
committed to implementing any of the resolutions it
reached with the union.
While reacting to the threat of the Federal
Government to sack the lecturers if they fail to call
off their five-month strike by Wednesday nest week,
ASUU National Treasurer, Dr. Ademola Aremu, said
the union was shocked that the government could
have such plan when there was a shortfall of 60,000
lecturers in Nigerian universities, owing to the
government’s failure to employ enough teachers.
He added that the threat would not hinder the
union’s determination to ensure that Nigerian
universities were well funded.
He said, “It is a pity if the Federal Government is not
willing to perfect the resolutions reached with the
union. This is why we find it difficult to trust our
leaders by their words. How can someone be
threatening to sack lecturers when universities are
already short-staffed by almost 60,000? We are not
in a military era. The military tried it and failed. This
one will fail again. They can re-open the schools.
ASUU did not shut the universities; it was the school
management that ordered the students to go back
home.”
ASUU added that the FG was wasting the time of
Nigerians and youths in the country by failing to
perfect the resolutions so that classes could resume
in the schools.
Making reference to the failure of the government to
honour the agreements it entered with resident
doctors and health workers after they suspended
their strikes, the union said it had reasons to be wary
of the government, adding that the threat was an
insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians who were
waiting for the government for a positive reaction.
“With the latest action, the government has shown
that it is not committed to all it has been saying. We
are saying that since we agreed at the meeting that
the sum of N200bn is for 2012 and 2013
revitalisation, the government should deposit same
in the Central Bank of Nigerian. We are already in
November and December is around the corner. If
they don’t do that now, when do they want to do it?”
Aremu said.

PoliticsAPC Mulls Kwankwaso/ Fashola Ticket For 2015 Presidential Election by tlaret24(op): 8:35am On Nov 28, 2013
ABUJA- Following yesterday’s defection of the G-5
governors and the Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led nPDP to
the All Progressive Congress, APC, Vanguard learnt
that the APC is planning to present Governors Rabiu
Kwankwaso of Kano State and Babatunde Fashola of
Lagos State as its candidates for the 2015
Presidential election.
Vanguard gathered that the party wants to take
advantage of Fashola’s performance in Lagos State
and Kwankwaso’s influence as a governor of the
northern state of Kano.
According to a source, although the candidates are
both Muslims, the party hopes the feat recorded by
the Moshood Abiola/Babagana Kingibe 1993 ticket,
before the election was annulled, will be repeated.
Another option for the party, the source added, is the
drafting of Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State
into the race for his achievements, popularity and
acceptability in the country.

Nairaland GeneralFresh Demands: ASUU Accuses Education Minister Of Lying by tlaret24(op): 8:25am On Nov 28, 2013
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has
condemned the Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike,
over his comments that the union is making new
“outrageous” demands, describing it as a lie.
The union said it had only asked President Goodluck
Jonathan to facilitate the endorsement of resolutions
reached with him and to also be signed by top
government official preferably the Attorney-General
of the Federation but not a permanent secretary.
National Treasurer of ASUU, Dr. Ademola Aremu,
stated the position of the union while speaking in
Ibadan on Wednesday. Aremu praised the
intervention of Jonathan but pointed out that some of
the resolutions reached with him were not contained
in the letter sent to the union.
ASUU said its representative and President of Nigeria
Labour Congress should stand as witnesses when the
document was to be signed.
The union added that it wanted the N200bn agreed
as 2013 revitalisation fund for public universities to
be kept with the Central Bank of Nigeria and
disbursed to the benefiting universities.
Aremu said Wike should have told Nigerians that
apart from the N30bn earned allowances released for
university staff, the government had yet to release
any other fund.
He said, “We are not making fresh demands. In fact,
the National Executive Council of the union would
have suspended the strike but the concern of our
congresses is that many of the things agreed with
the President, during the November 4 meeting, were
not included in the letter signed by a permanent
secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education, Dr.
Mark Nwobiala.”
He promised that the strike would end as soon as the
omissions were corrected in the new resolution.

ABUJA — The Federal Government, yesterday,
condemned the new conditions which Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU, insists must be met
before the five-month old strike could be called off.
The three conditions were payment of four months
salaries, which accumulated during the period of the
strike; immediate implementation of the N1.2 trillion
offered by the government to public universities,
starting with the release of N100 billion this year and
the balance of N1.1 trillion to be spread over five
years from 2014.
The union also demanded that the salary arrears
must not be paid in piecemeal.
These were some of the resolutions reached by
members of the National Executive Council, NEC, of
the union that met in Kano on Friday.
Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike,
condemned the new conditions but assured that he
would present them before President Goodluck
Jonathan.www.vanguardngr.com/2013/11/fg-condemns-asuus-new-demands/

CelebritiesNigeria’s Highest Paid Ceos by tlaret24(op): 9:21am On Nov 22, 2013
Nigeria boasts a slew of successful CEOs in
almost every sector – banking, oil and gas,
sports, health and manufacturing. LEADERSHIP
Friday unveils some of Nigeria’s highest paid
CEOs and the stories behind their rise to the
top, based on authoritative reports, between
2009 and 2012.
CEO, Stanbic IBTC, Sola David-Borha
As the managing director/CEO of Stanbic IBTC
Holdings Plc, David-Borha is one of the
country’s highly-rated bankers. She is the
highest paid director in Nigeria’s banking
sector, with an annual remuneration of N177m.
When broken down, this becomes N484, 931
daily, including weekends when may have no
reason to go to work..
CEO, Mobil Oil Nigeria Limited, Tunji
Oyebanji
Mobil Oil Nigeria (MON) is one of Nigeria’s
major petroleum products marketing
companies. As its chief executive officer,
Oyebanji is on an annual remuneration of
N85m. When broken down, this amounts to a
daily pay of about N231, 956. CEO, GTBank, Olusegun Agbaje
The managing director/CEO of Guaranty Trust
Bank (GTB), Olusegun J.K. Agbaje, is rated as
one of the country’s highest paid CEOs. His
GTB prides itself as “the biggest and most
profitable bank in Nigeria” and one of the
biggest companies on the shores of West
Africa. Agbaje co-founded the GTB in 1990 with
Tayo Aderinokun who died in 2011.His annual
take-home is a whopping N77m.
CEO, Oando Plc, Jubril Adewale Tinubu
According to recent financial reports, the
second highest paid CEO in the oil sector is
Wale Tinubu, with a total annual remuneration
of N69m, an equivalent of N189, 041 per day.
CEO, Forte Oil Plc, Akin Akinfemiwa
Forte Oil Plc. (formally African Petroleum Plc.) is
a foremost indigenous major marketer of
refined petroleum products with strong
presence in the 36 states of the federation and
Abuja. According to recent reports, as its group
chief executive officer, Akinfemiwa’s annual
salary is N64m (N175, 342 per day).
CEO, UBA, Phillips Oduoza
Phillips Oduoza is the chief executive officer,
group managing director, and an executive
director of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc.
He is one of the highest paid CEOs in the
banking sector, with an annual remuneration of
N57m (as at 2010). It suffices to say that
Oduoza is one of the few who can beat their
chest in fulfilment of a banking career.
CEO, Ecobank Nigeria, Jubril Aku
According to a Banks’ Financial Transparency
report, as at 2009, the bank ranked second on
the list of highest paid bank CEOs in Nigeria,
with N88m per annum as salary for its CEO.
But the bank reportedly slashed the CEO’s
emolument to N38m per annum, perhaps, as a
measure against financial stress.

Nairaland GeneralMy Wife Always Beating Me, I Need A Divorce – Fashola Tells Lagos Court by tlaret24(op): 8:31am On Nov 22, 2013
A 75-year-old man, Fashola Fakorede, on Thursday
urged a Customary Court, in the Lagos suburb of
Igando, to dissolve his marriage to his wife, Funke,
49, for allegedly beating him.
Fakorede told the Nigerian customary court that his
wife had turned him into a punching bag and also
inflicted injuries over his body.
“My wife wants to kill me. She beats me every day. I
don’t want to die now, save my life. My wife always
beats me if I asked of food or anything. She has
turned it to a routine affair, all the scars on my body
are as a result of her battery on me,’’ he said.
Fakorede said his wife no longer takes care of him,
adding, “she goes out and returns home at will
without seeking my permission. She can go out for
days and if I queried her, she will hit me with any
dangerous weapon she can lay her hand on at that
moment.
“And my daughter is also taking her footstep, she
brings home different men and my wife will not
query her. So, I sent her away from my house,’’ he
said.
He urged the court to dissolve the union, saying that
he was no longer in love with her and was tired of the
regular battery, which had led to his ill-health.
“I am tired of the constant beating, I am afraid this
woman will kill me one day. I am not ready to die
now,’’ he pleaded.
Funke, a trader, denied the allegations, saying that
she did not beat her husband and has always taken
good care of him and respected him.
The mother of three, however, accused her husband
of denying the children the right to go to school.
“My husband is unable to send any of his three
children to secondary school. My husband is not
responsible. None of our children went to secondary
school, all of them stopped schooling at primary
school,” she said.
She said her husband had disowned his daughter,
and urged the court not to grant his wish as she still
loved him.
“I have no anywhere to go as no man will want to
marry me at my age,’’ ‘
The judge, Mr R. I. Adeyeri, adjourned the case till 25
November for further hearing.

PoliticsNames Of 2013 Nigerian National Merit Award List Released by tlaret24(op): 8:06am On Nov 22, 2013
After weeks of rigorous screening, the Federal Government yesterday announced the names of three distinguished Nigerians that have been pencilled down to receive this year’s Nigerian National Merit Award (NNMA).

The three distinguished Nigerians drawn from Science, Humanities and Engineering/Technology, include Professors Seth Sunday Ajayi, Francis Abiodun Irele and Hillary Iyang Iyang.

Professor Ajayi is a major figure in the international community of scholars in Wildlife Conservative and Environmental Protection and Management. Professor Irele is an author of over a hundred papers, while Professor Iyang is an acknowledged leader in research.

Making the announcement to journalists in Abuja, the Chairman of the governing board of NNMA, Oluwafeyisola Sylvester Adegoke, who incidentally was the only recipient of the award in 1987, said President Goodluck Jonathan will on December 5 at the presidential villa confer the awards on the recipients.

Adegoke said: “In compliance with the provision of the Act setting up the NNMA, the recipients will be conferred with the award by President Goodluck Jonathan. With this new class of laureates, a total number of 70 Nigerians would have been conferred with the prestigious award since it was established in 1979.

“Over 40 candidates within Nigeria and in Diaspora were nominated for the award. At the conclusion of our very rigorous, merit-driven, 3-stage assessment process, only three Nigerians were approved for the award by the Governing Board of the NNMA.

“It may also interest you to note that in all its 34 years of existence, the NNMA has conducted a controversy-free award, for which it has consistently earned national and world-wide respect.”

Series of lectures have also been lined up by the board of NNMA.

Christianity EtcChurch Of England Paves Way For Ordination Of Women Bishops by tlaret24(op): 5:09pm On Nov 21, 2013
The Archbishop of York,
John Sentamu , speaks next
to the Archbishop of
Canterbury Justin Welby at
the General Synod in
Church House – Source:
Reuters
The Church of England’s
governing body has voted
overwhelmingly in favour of
female bishops, ending a
20-year impasse that could
see women ordained as
senior clergy by the end of
2014.
A vote on a package of measures to endorse women
bishops was supported by 378 members of the
General Synod while eight voted against and 25
abstained after months of behind-the-scenes talks to
unite reformers and traditionalists.
A year ago, a blocking minority succeeded in
rejecting draft legislation on women bishops, leaving
the church in crisis. That vote, lost by just six votes,
was criticised by the UK parliament and one senior
church official called it a “train crash”.
After that, church leaders set up a committee to find
common ground. Its proposals won widespread
acceptance in the Synod, even among groups
previously opposed.
“The train is on the tracks, the train is moving
forwards, and we now have some stations to pass
along the way but we can begin to see the end of this
particular journey,” the Bishop of Rochester James
Langstaff told a news conference.
The legislation will be discussed again at a meeting
in February and a vote on final approval is likely in
2014.
The issue of female clergy has divided global
Anglicanism. Women serve as bishops in the United
States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand but
Anglican churches in many developing countries do
not even ordain them as priests.
Critics of female clergy say Jesus chose only men as
his apostles, while supporters say it is a matter of
equality.
The spiritual head of the Church of England,
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, supports
women bishops but has struggled to unite the
mother church for the world’s 80 million Anglicans on
the issue.
Woman in Canterbury
Last year’s draft legislation failed mainly due to
concerns that a code of practice to cater for parishes
that objected to women bishops did not go far
enough.
The new recommendations would create an
independent official who can intervene when
traditionalist parishes complain about women
bishops’ authority and guidelines for parishes whose
congregations reject women’s ministry.
Those in favour of the plans were warned not to
“open the champagne bottles” just yet as there were
still major issues to be resolved.
Prime Minister David Cameron told parliament: “I
strongly support women bishops and hope the
Church of England takes this key step to ensure its
place as a modern Church in touch with our society.”
Even many traditionalists acknowledged it was time
for change and to end the deadlock. Paul Benfield, of
the Synod’s Anglo-Catholic group, said it was “a
workable way forward”.
The Church approved the ordination of women
priests in 1992, but delayed making them bishops
because of opposition within its previously all-male
clergy.
Bishops play a key role in many Christian churches
because only they can ordain new clergy.
Amanda Fairclough, a priest from Liverpool, said she
had “no doubt one day a woman will be called by God
to be the Archbishop of Canterbury”.

Foreign AffairsShocking! Ra*pe Any Girl On Sight – The Assam Ra*pe Festival In India Begins » [ by tlaret24(op): 6:13pm On Nov 20, 2013
Men in India are already beginning to celebrate as
the annual Assam Ra*pe Festival is just days away.
Every non-married girl age 7-16 will have the chance
to flee to safety or get ra*ped. Madhuban Ahluwalia
who heads up the annual festival told reporters why
the event is so important. “This is a long time
tradition in Assam dating back thousands of years,”
says Ahluwalia. “We rape the evil demons out of the
girls, otherwise they will cheat on us and we will be
forced to kill them. So it is necessary for everyone.”
The Assam Festival began in 43 BC when Baalkrishan
Tamil Nadu molested everyone in his village of
Doomdooma. Baalkrishan Tamil Nadu is remembered
every year at this event, in fact the trophy given to
the man with the most rapes is called “The
Baalkrishan”. 24-year-old Harikrishna Majumdar told
reporters that he has been training all year for this
event. “I’m going to get the most ra*pes this year.
I’ve been practicing all year. I ra*pe my sister and her
friends every day. I will be rape superstar number
one! I will get the Baalkrishan prize this year for
sure!” 12-year-old Jaitashri Majumdar told reporters
she almost made it through last year’s festival
without getting ra*ped. “I came so close to not
getting ra*ped. I almost got to the ‘ra*pe-free-zone’
at the edge of town, but at the last minute 9 men
jumped on me and molested me. Luckily I am just
recovering now so I can participate in this year’s
events, otherwise I would be put to death by
stoning.” 34-year-old Brian Barnett from Toronto who
is visiting Assam on business told reporters he will
be missing the festivities this year. “My company did
not tell me anything about a ra*pe festival
happening while I was here. Are you serious, a ra*pe
festival? I’m getting the f*ck out of this backwards
country tonight.” India is second in reported rapes in
the world only behind the United States, though
critics are quick to point out that is only because
most rapes in India go unreported.

HealthThe Reality Of Alcohol Poisoning by tlaret24(op): 8:57am On Nov 20, 2013
Posted by Ibukun Edu
Alcohol poisoning is a very serious occurrence that
could lead to a person’s death. This type of
poisoning is caused by the consumption of large
quantities of alcohol within a short period of time
and occurs because consuming alcohol too quickly
can affect a person’s breathing, body
temperature, gag reflexes, and heart rate.
Drinking too much in a short while can also lead to
loss of consciousness.
How to know when someone has alcohol
poisoning
their breaths become irregular
they might faint
vomiting
skin becomes pale and clammy
they become disoriented
body temperature drops
they might have a seizure
breathing is slow
When a person who is suffering alcohol poisoning
is unconscious, it is important to get medical help
as they could die at that stage. It is important to
see a doctor before the symptoms degenerate.
If you ever find yourself around a person suffering
from alcohol poisoning, it is important to stay with
them; such episodes usually come with gag
reflexes that might cause the person to choke on
their vomit and block their airways.
While you should not try to make them vomit, if
they do, keep them sitting up, with their back
against a solid surface . If they need to lie down,
turn them on their side(this is known to reduce
chances of choking).
What causes alcohol poisoning?
Binge drinking is known to be the commonest
cause of alcohol poisoning. During binge drinking,
a person consumes a lot of different brands of
alcohol in a short while. Sometimes, alcohol
poisoning can result from binging that has gone
on for a number of days; this is because even
when a person has stopped drinking, alcohol is
still released into their bloodstream form their
stomachs and intestines, thereby causing a
continuous rise in their body’s alcohol content.
Normally, it takes the body at least an hour to
process the alcohol content in one drink. As such,
mixed drinks can contain more alcohol than is
usually in one serving and take the body a longer
while to process.
Factors that increase the risk of alcohol
poisoning
When you had your last meal
Alcohol tolerance levels
A person’s weight and size
Alcohol percentage in a drink
When alcohol is combined with medication
A person’s general health
The amount of alcohol consumed
Complications caused by alcohol poisoning
Very low body temperature that could lead
to a heart attack
A person could inhale vomit into their lungs
and not be able to breathe
Seizures may occur as a result of sugar
levels dropping too low
Gag reflexes may cause choking
Damage to the brain
Dehydration
Death
Treatment of alcohol poisoning
Intravenous supply of liquids to prevent
dehydration
Glucose and vitamins are usually
administered to reduce the complications of
the poisoning
Positioning the person as described earlier
to ease breathing and prevent choking
In cases where a person has consumed
dangerous amounts of alcohol accidentally,
they may need to get their systems filtered
professionally ton rid their body of the
toxins and waste.
There are some dangerous beliefs regarding
alcohol poisoning that practise. Some people
believe that by taking a long walk, you can
increase the rate at which your body processes
the alcohol; this belief is wrong. Some people
believe they can reverse alcohol poisoning by
sleeping it off, drinking coffee or taking a shower;
none of these things work. You need to see a
doctor.
Preventing alcohol poisoning
The first and most obvious prevention is to stay
away from alcohol but because some types of
alcohol are actually healthy when taken in small
quantities, you can also drink safely and
moderately (one drink a day).
Younger people, especially teenagers who are
experiencing their fist year in college and
enjoying being free from home, need to
understand that binge drinking, while it might
seem like fun, can actually cut their lives short.
They need to be made to understand that
tolerance levels are different and competing with
someone else who can keep going is by far, a bad
idea.
The one glass of wine that is usually prescribed as
healthy for the heart, always goes with a meal,
during or after your meal. This is because doctors
understand the dangers that could follow drinking
alcohol on an empty stomach. Also, when alcohol
is taken, there’s really no need for you to rush it.
Children are naturally inquisitive. Most people had
their first taste of alcohol at home, when their
parents were not looking. Some kids are not lucky
enough to laugh about it later in life. It is
important that parents learn to store alcohol far
from where children will find it or lock it up
somewhere.
Mixing alcohol with medication
Mixing alcohol with your medication can cause
many problems from internal bleeding to difficulty
in breathing. Some can cause nausea, dizziness
and even heart problems.
There are usually warnings on drugs that should
not be taken on alcohol. If you cannot find
anything that expressly states that you should not
take alcohol with your drugs, don’t risk it.source nigeria telegram

PoliticsAnambra Election Protesters, Not Igbos, Says Obi’s Aide by tlaret24(op): 7:50am On Nov 20, 2013
The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Peter Obi of
Anambra State on Media and Publicity has called on
the people of the state to remain calm over what he
called the stage-managed protest against the
November 16, governorship poll in the state.
Obienyem, in a statement, yesterday, said that
investigations revealed that those who protested,
especially the women that pretended to be crying
placards were imported into Anambra State from
Osun State in five chartered luxurious buses.
He said: “Chris Ngige and his group wanted protests
at all costs, but when our people, who already know
him for what he is, refused, they had to go to Osun
State.
“Even when they imported some boys from Imo State
to protest as students, the Vice Chancellor of Nnandi
Azikiwe University, Prof. Egboka, was alarmed when
contacted on phone. He had to rush down to the
school for investigations. Having discovered that
those involved were not his students, he warned
against those who lost and said he had checked with
all his relevant officials who confirmed that the story
of UNIZIK students was fallacious. We have our
respects, belief and integrity.”
Obienyem added that on further investigation and
interrogation of the boys, they confessed that All
Progressive Congress, APC people paid them N1,500
each and chartered the buses that conveyed them
from Imo State to Anambra.vanguard
CelebritiesWhy Unity Bank Dumped Ice Prince by tlaret24(op): 7:41am On Nov 20, 2013
For sounding expensive, Ice Prince recently missed
being crowned as the brand ambassador of Unity
Bank, a leading bank in the northern part of the
country.
The bank decided to sign the Fire
of Zamani crooner as its
ambassador because of his rising
hip-hop brand and mainstream
appeal.
Things fell apart when Iceprince
asked for a sign on fee of N300m
which didn’t go down well with
the stakeholders of the bank. A

RomanceLadies Are Much More Interested In Porn Than Many Think – Survey by tlaret24(op): 11:58am On Nov 19, 2013
However, a recent survey conducted by a British sex
toys and lingerie retailer, Ann Summers, produced
quite interesting results.
We cannot call them as globally-representative, but
it's certainly a fascinating look at how some women
view love, sex and pornography.
Check out the five facts which have been gathered:
1. Porn can benefit your relationship, your sex
life. Couples who watch porn together at least once a
week reported being more committed and sexually
satisfied than those who watched porn together less
frequently or not at all. Fifty-eight percent of women
who watched porn with a partner said that it had a
positive effect on their sex life - over half said that it
gave them the confidence to ask for what they wanted
in bed.
2. The vast majority of women don't consider
watching porn to be cheating. A full 93 percent of
participants reported that they wouldn't consider their
partner unfaithful for watching porn. As it should be.
3. Porn helps women escape and de-stress. Over
85 percent of women reported watching porn as a
"fantasy escape". A further 23 percent said it helped
them relieve stress - and there's a scientific precedent
for that. A study from Carnegie Mellon reports that
men who looked at sexy pictures were much less
stressed than those who viewed non-sexual images.
Subjects who looked at the sexy images also
performed 50 percent better on a math test.
4. Women are making their own amateur porn.
Forty percent of respondents had made a sex tape
with their current partner or an ex. (Of course, given
the disturbing rise of revenge porn, it's worth
remembering that intimate photographs and videos
should be made and shared with caution.)
5. Most of porn-views are 18-24. Fifty-seven
percent of respondents who reported enjoying porn
solo belong to this age group.
Do you think the results above are accurate?

Nairaland GeneralASUU Strike 2013 Update: Union Expected To Hold Postponed Meeting On Friday by tlaret24(op): 8:09am On Nov 19, 2013
The ASUU strike 2013 continues, but the latest
update is good news–the union’s postponed meeting
is expected to be held on November 22.
The union is still expected to end the strike at the
meeting, which was postponed after the sudden
death of former union president Festus Iyayi.
Friday’s meeting may or may not be held at Bayero
University in Kano, where the meeting was slated to
be originally held, an official told the Daily
Independent on condition of anonymity.
Union leadership said that it was never planning on
canceling the meeting for good, only to hold a 7-day
mourning period for Iyayi.
Once the meeting is held, and provided the strike is
called off, the strike would likely officially end on
Monday, culminating with another meeting between
union leadership and President Goodluck Jonathan.
Supervisory Minister of Education Nyesom Wike over
the weekend led a group of government officials to
the former residence of Iyayi in Benin City on a
condolence visit.
Wike said that the federal government would
implement all agreements it reached with the ASUU.
“President Goodluck Jonathan and the entire
administration are deeply pained by the sudden
death of the former ASUU National President who
played a key part in the negotiations between ASUU
and the Federal Government,” Wike said in a
statement.
“We recall the significant contributions of Professor
Iyayi during the 13-hour negotiations between
President Jonathan and ASUU, which led to a
headway in the discussions.
“I want to assure the family that the ideals that the
late scholar fought and died for will never be
forgotten. The Federal Government will diligently
implement the decisions reached in the course of
negotiations with ASUU.”

EducationASUU Strike Latest: ASUU Nec Meeting Now To Hold On Saturday by tlaret24(op): 4:36pm On Nov 15, 2013
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.ngtrends.com
