The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
University, Bauchi, Dr Lawan Abubakar has
debunked 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.
Abubakari 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".
