Manhandled journalists who converged to get details about the union National Executive Committee meeting at the university, which held at Federal University of Technology Minna branch
But the journalists were later allowed in after the intervention of Mrs. Lydia Legbo, the university’s chief information officer,
Problems started when a member of the local organising committee in the institution came out, warning that the safety of the journalists were not secured.
The refusal of journalists to leave the premises and confirm social and international media reports that the union has called off the strike did not go down well with the branch chairman who resorted to name calling and hurling insults on them.
He claimed that the presence of journalists “was not needed.”
At the time of filing this report, a source within the meeting said they were yet to take a decision on whether to suspend the strike or not.
