“We are Still Mourning Iyayi, So No NEC Meeting Yet” – ASUU Chairman

The chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, University of Ibadan, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye has discredited the stories that the National Executive Council had met in Kano on Saturday as false.

Ajiboye was speaking in an interview on Diamond FM, University of Ibadan and stated that no meeting was scheduled for yesterday or today, as they were still in the middle of a seven-day mourning, 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.
