ASUU bans UNILORIN from holding procession for Late Festus Iyayi

The Academic Staff Union of Universities ( ASUU) has placed a ban on any procession in honour of the late former president of the union, Festus Iyayi, by University of Ilorin, reports the Nigerian Tribune.

A procession notice had been signed by one Dr Mrs Binta O. Ibrahim belonging to the Egbewole faction of ASUU, intimating the union of a proposed procession in honour of the late ASUU ex-president.

The union replied in a release titled: ‘Do not desecrate the memory of our late president,’ saying, “the attention of the union has been drawn to attempts by a group led by Professor Wahab Egbewole of the University of Ilorin to desecrate the memory of the late former president of our union, Professor Festus Iyayi, by issuing a notice of a so-called ‘procession’ for him in the University of Ilorin.” It described the proposed procession as illegal, saying it was still mourning the death of its former president and had not approved any procession for its branches.
