ASUU STRIKE: Schools May Resume On Monday After Emergency NEC Meeting This Weekend

Latest developments indicate
that the five-month old ASUU
strike, may be called off over
the weekend.
A source who pleaded anonymity, told
newsmen that the National Executive Council,
NEC meeting, which was suspended
indefinitely because of the death of Late
Professor Festus Iyayi, a former president of
the Union, maybe be reconvened on Saturday.
He said that Iyayi's death brought shock to
the Union, especially as he was on his way to
official assignment and the ASUU had to put
the meeting on hold to honour him.
"There is strong indication that the NEC
meeting will be reconvened on Saturday," he
said.
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."
