Reply)ASUU Denies Report Of Holding NEC MeetingIn Kano, Strike Continues

The Academic Staff Union of University
(ASUU) has dismissed report going round the
media, especially social media platforms that
it held of the union’s National Exectuve
Council to discuss the possibility of calling
off the strike.
Chairman of the University of Ibadan branch
of the union, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, said the
stories of the meeting in Kano are rumours.
He said in an interview monitored on
Diamond FM, University of Ibadan, that there
was no meeting scheduled by the union for
Saturday as they were still observing seven
days of mourning in honour of the late former
national chairman of the union, Festus Iyayi.
The union was last week scheduled the
meeting of its National Executive Council to
hold in Kano, where they were expected to
take a final decision on whether to continue
with their strike or accept the FG’s offer, but
cancelled it when one of their colleague and a
former president of the union was killed in a
car crash by the convoy of the Governor of
Kogi state.
No new date has been fixed for the cancelled
meeting, thus the fate of university students
whoi have stayed at home for over four
months remains unknown.
