Reports from Premium Times said the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has suspended its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting initially scheduled to hold at Bayero University, Kano, on Wednesday. The meeting was suspended indefinitely.
The ASUU National President, Nasiru Fagge, stated this on Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting was suspended because of the death of Festus Iyayi, a former ASUU President, who died in a car accident on Tuesday on his way to the NEC meeting.
Meanwhile,the Kogi Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission has blamed the auto crash that led to the death, on Tuesday, of Prof Festus Iyayi, on wrongful overtaking by a vehicle in the convoy of Kogi state governor, Idris Wada.
The News Agency of Nigeria quoted the Kogi state commander of the FRSC, Olakunle Motajo, as saying preliminary report by his commission suggested the accident was caused by a Toyota Hilux bus in Mr. Wada’s convoy.
The vehicle, Mr. Motajo said, made “wrongful overtaking”, ramming into another Toyota Hiace bus belonging to the UNIBEN ASUU chapter in which Mr. Iyayi and two others were travelling in the opposite direction.
