IPPIS: ASUU Takes Steps To Take To The Streets Over Retained January Pay Rates

The authority of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has compromised the affiliation will set out on a Nationwide strike if the Federal government doesn't neglect to revoke its choice to retain the January pay rates of speakers yet to take on the Integrated Payroll Personnel Information System (IPPIS)......
 The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, in a letter dated Tuesday, January 21st and marked by the Director of IPPIS, Olufehinti Olusegun, coordinated the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning not to discharge assets for the installment of January pay rates of scholarly staff of colleges, polytechnics and schools of instruction yet to enlist on the IPPIS stage. Peruse beginning report here. 

ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, who blamed the administration for taking such choice while still in converses with the association, said if such choice isn't inspected, teachers in the college framework would be left with no other decision than to down instruments. As per him, the association and the Federal government are still in talks over the IPPIS approach and retaining pay rates when exchange is as yet being held is wrong. 

"We didn't participate in that choice. What we were anticipating that them should do was to permit the progressing discourse to run its full course. Since we are finding out about this in the media, maybe a few components in government are attempting to disrupt the procedure. We left the gathering with Mr. President accepting that they will give us space to clarify how the UTAS will better address our idiosyncrasies and self-rule than IPPIS. Be that as it may, they have not permitted that to occur. We presume it's because of the exercises of certain people or gatherings that are attempting to undermine the procedure. 

"In the event that they push us to the point of taking our ultimate choice about it, we also will let them know 'no compensation, no work' since we have a goals that is on ground as of now. The goals we quite a while back, which we reactivated at our gathering in Minna a month ago. Thus, however they need to go, ASUU will adapt to the situation." he said in a talk with The New Telegraph 

On whether the association would give a final proposal to government to switch its choice, Ogunyemi stated: "I have labored for one month someone is stating you are not paying me for that month, do I have to give you final offer to reveal to you that I can never again work until you pay me?"
