UPDATED:ASUU Postpones Executive Meeting Over Iyayi's Death

By


A former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof. Festus Iyayi, died on Tuesday in a car crash on Lokoja-Abuja Expressway.

Iyayi was returning from a meeting in one of the Northern ASUU chapters when the accident occurred.

He was in company with some ASUU leaders and they were said to be returning from Kano where they sought the views of members on ending the four-month-old ASUU strike.

Daily Times could not confirm the total number of casualties in the crash.

However, his death has led to the postment of ASUU's executive meeting, which was to have met Wednesday to decide whether they should call of their four-month old strike.
According to Dele Momodu's tweet ASUU will assemble on the 15th of January for another meeting, so unfortunate and we hope another member doesn't kick the bucket, or else it will be rescheduled for December of that same year
