A former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Festus Iyayi, is dead, union officials said.
Detail of the incident is still sketchy but a News Agency of Nigeria report says Mr. Iyayi, 66, died in a motor accident in Lokoja.
The late university teacher was among ASUU leaders who met with President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja last week to deliberate on how to end the four-month strike by lecturers.
Mr. Iyayi is believed to be travelling to Kano for Wednesday’s National Executive Committee meeting where a vote is likely to be taken on whether the ongoing strike should be called off.
MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL RIP!!!
