ASUU Bans Procession to Commemorate Late Prof. Iyayi at UNILORIN

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has put a ban on any procession in honour of the late ex- President of the union, Prof. Festus Iyayi.
It described it as ‘illegal’ the planned procession by the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), namely the plans of union’s faction led by Prof. Wahab Egbewole.
ASUU said it is still mourning the death of its former president and has not approved any procession for its branches, bemoaning what it called “hypocrisy by the illegal and court sacked faction of Prof. Egbewole.”
A procession notice had been signed by one Dr. Mrs. Binta O. Ibrahim belonging to the Egbewole faction of ASUU, intimating academic staff of planned procession in honour of the late ASUU president.
However, the national leadership of ASUU said the union will certainly not stand for any attempt by the illegal group in UNILORIN to desecrate the memory of Prof. Iyayi.
In a release dated November 19, 2013, Tuesday, and signed by the Zonal Coordinators of Ilorin and Ibadan zones, Dr. Ayan Adeleke and Dr. Adesola Nasir respectively, titled “DO NOT DESECRATE THE MEMORY OF OUR LATE PRESIDENT,” said the following:
“The attention of the union has been drawn to attempts by a group led by Prof. Wahab Egbewole of the University of Ilorin to desecrate the memory of the late former President of our union, Prof. Festus Iyayi, by issuing a notice of a so called “procession” for him at the University of Ilorin.”
ASUU also noted that Prof. Egbewole has been expelled from the union, while his group has been declared illegal by the National Industrial Court.
