IBADAN_The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) University of Ibadan chapter has suspended forthwith all union activities and programmes.
The union in a message to all academic staffs, said the decision was sequel to the death of the  former President of the Union, Professor Festus Iyayi who died in Lokoja in a ghastly motor accident on his way to attend the emergency meeting of the union in Kano.
According to the Union, suspending all union activities was to honour the deceased who devoted his life to fighting injustice and served the union meritoriously.
The chairman of the University of Ibadan chapter of ASUU, Dr Olusegun Ajiboye who described Professor Iyayi as a celebrated activist who defied threat to his life to fight for the masses, lamented that Iyayi was killed through executive waywardness.
Ajiboye said the academic world had been thrown into mourning adding that they are
mourning their own killed by the hands of those who are supposed to uphold the law but breaks the law with impunity.
Professor Ajiboye said many Nigerian governors do not obey traffic light and lack the passion helping the masses during traffic gridlock but enjoy terrorising people on the roads.
He noted that the public office holders use their money and provide nothing for them and added that they embezzled and deny the public the basic things like good roads, quality medical facilities and
education.

The University don further noted that they need people to remind them to do what is right but nobody
reminds them to steal money adding that Nigerians sweat to survive but the leadership
lie with statistics which can not be seen on the faces of Nigerians.
