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.
However, his death has led to the postponement of ASUU's executive meeting, which was to have met Wednesday to decide whether they should call of their four-month old strike.
They're saying until further notice, but we all know that the soonest they'll hold the meeting is likely january as also other sources say they want Iyayi's burial over with first.
