ASUU STRIKE UPDATE: ASUU’s NEC Meeting Still Indefinite

The ASUU leader of University of Ibadan, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye has denied reports claiming the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU was to hold it's National Executives Committee meeting yesterday as False.

According to him he claimed that there was no plan for such meeting.  Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye claimed that the report which made rounds on Saturday, that the National Executive Council, NEC, would hold an emergency meeting in Kano, were false.


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

It is hoped that after the 7days mourning of Iyayi, the union will meet to decide the way forward on the lingering strike that has paralyzed the academic activities of public universities in the country.
