Former ASUU president Festus Iyayi killed in fatal crash today

Former President of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Dr. Festus Iyayi, was killed this afternoon in a fatal auto accident in Lokoja, on his way to Kano state for a meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU where the union is expected to call off its four month old strike.

It's being reported that the convoy of the Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Idris Wada, rammed into the vehicle conveying Professor Iyayi and some members of the union to Kano. The university don who is also a popular writer, died on the scene while two other occupants of the vehicle were injured.

    Rosie Said......... OMG what kind of story is this? Who is safe in this our God forsaken country? You fly,plane crash,you use boat,it will capsize, you go by road,if you don't die because of the bad road,government convoy will fly into you and kill you.Lord have mercy.To Prof Iyayi's family,friends and professional colleagues,may God give you peace,that peace that passeth all understanding.N/B.....All those lamenting about the strike how Prof Iyayi's death is gonna prolong it, don't you guys have brain? A man just lost his life suddenly for your sake,show some sensitivity pls.

    @anon 8:42 I second ur comment, I think.the strike should be called off but d resumption date should b shifted to january, cause they will start rushing students and it doesn't mk sense to travel back to school and still travel back home again for d holiday with this our bad road,for those of us that schools far from home its not safe!

    I understand that Uniben chapter of ASUU voted for the strike to continue,hence Prof.Iyayi was heading to Kano to push for continuation till God knows when!Is it not a very wicked,insensitive and satanic stance? Considering the recent further concessions GEJ made to them after over 15hours of personally discussing with ASUU,was it realistic for Prof and his colleagues to take such a stand?God knows everything and determines everything.Again the issue of reckless driving by convoys of political office holders has got to a stage that a global strike should be called by NLC et al to draw attention to this!

    God will punish all ASUU people and both their president former, present and the next ASUU president. Do you know how many university students have died because of this bloody strike, or students that have turned rogue, involving themselves in dangerous activity because of being idle, or the ones that have started doing drugs, smoking weed, codeine, crack, stealing, getting pregnant e.t.c all in excess quantity. Infact the whole ASUU staffs can drop off the face of the earth, I don't give two rat's ass, a bird's shit and a diamond crested finger f**k. Students are in jeopardy, Linda why don't you post some of that, owk? I love you by the way. *winks*
