The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has dissociated itself from the planned resumption of academic activities at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT, tomorrow (Monday).
In a statement signed by the Chairman of ASUU, ESUT chapter, Prof. Agu Gab Agu and others, the union said its attention had been drawn to the announcement by ESUT management that students were resuming academic activities on Monday November 18, 2013.
“The academic staff of ESUT dissociates itself from the above announcement”, the union stated.
It added that “while ASUU-ESUT mourns the demise of Professor Festus Iyayi, a former President of ASUU, it awaits the direction of the NEC on the ongoing strike”.
Prof. Agu described the demise of Iyayi as a big loss to ASUU, saying his death was a big loss to the union, the academia and the country in general.
The ASUU-ESUT boss prayed that God should grant the family of the late ASUU President the fortitude to bear the loss.
Meanwhile, a condolence register has been opened for the late Professor Iyayi at the ASUU Secretariat in ESUT Agbani Campus.
