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.
More details later.
This was what I feared would happen. Anyways, they do have to pay their respects to a fallen comrade.
ReplyDeleteIf Asuu is to pay respect to a fallen comrade that lost his life by not calling off the strike plz who will pay respect to most of the students dat died during the cos of strike true accidents n electric shocks n all!!! I have only 1 question wud it have happened if those students were in school!

ReplyDeleteThis trash, is not enough reason.
ReplyDeleteNow you u see? They'll go on shifting the strike time bcos a fellow comrade died. Pls my fellow students, recount how many students, both zikites and other skool's students that the nation have lost during the duration of this strike.
ReplyDeleteIs it fair?
We want to learn and become responsible persons in d society, plsssss call off the strike!
I finally see sum who is reasoning like me I earlier made a comment about dis only unizik recorded about 5 or six dead students(I stand to be correctedi am wrong) nt to tok of other schools!!!! My question is if dey were in scholl will it happen!
DeleteStudents die everyday, ASUU strike has done more damage to Nigeria students than any so-called ASUU exco. As a matter of fact, no body's death is worth putting the future of Nigeria students on the line. Late Dr. Festus Iyayi was at the fore-front for a better cause for this country, but I still believe the best we could do for him is to call off the strike soonest to forestall further occurrence of this ugly incidence. Some students are dead, some in jail, many are prostitutes, some pregnant, yet ASUU did not anything wrong with all these. All that concerns them is their pocket. We need to arise and stop these analogue scholars from ruining our future.
ReplyDeleteIt's official. ASUU/FG Meetings to resume January 15th. I think the lecturers still get paid cos if the FG had stopped d payment of salaries, the strike may have been called off. That's why they're in no hurry to return to classes.
ReplyDeleteabeg wud ds coment get to asuu
