The Yola Zone of Academic Staff Union of Universities
comprising five universities in Adamawa, Borno Yobe and Taraba states said the
system was not working.
The Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System has
been declared a failure for overpaying and underpaying those, who enrolled in
the scheme.
The Yola Zone of Academic Staff Union of Universities
comprising five universities in Adamawa, Borno Yobe and Taraba states said the
system was not working.
At a press conference in Yola on Tuesday, the union
announced that its members were observing the two-week warning strike action to
kick against IPPIS.
Coordinator of ASUU Yola zone, Prof Augustine Ndaghu, tasked
the Nigerian Government to earmark 26 per cent budgetary provision for
education in line with UNESCO standard.
He said, “We reiterate that the major contentions of ASUU’s
rejection of the IPPIS is the inability of the IPPIS template to capture the
peculiarities of the Nigerian university system.
“Usurpation of university autonomy as well as erosion of the
previous agreements between FGN and ASUU besides the fact that IPPIS is not
backed by law.
“Currently, issues emanating from the payment of February
2020 salary via IPPIS had vindicated ASUU’s position of total rejection of the
platform which generated lots of controversies and contradictions.
“For instance, the payments were replete with underpayments,
overpayments, lack of third party deductions and outright commissions among
others.
“The union also calls on the FGN to welcome ASUU’s ongoing
innovative alternative to IPPIS called Universities Transparency and
Accountability Solutions which is a robust human resources management and
compensation system that is capable of addressing the peculiarities of
university staff.”
