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.
More details later.
