Universities Strike: ASUU to Hold NEC Meeting on Friday
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said its National Executive Committee meeting scheduled for Friday November, 21 will go ahead as planned.
The Chairman of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi branch of ASUU, Dr Lawan Abubakar said this while debunking media reports that the union had postponed its National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting slated for tomorrow.
According to him, the Union had previously postponed the scheduled NEC meeting to mourn the death of Festus Iyayi, a former President, who tragically passed last Tuesday in a motor accident along the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
Abubakar also denied that the striking lecturers had accepted the over N1trillion offer by the Federal Government, adding that the Union is agitating for the full implementations of the 2009 agreement, and “nothing less”.
