The peace in Nigeria’s public universities may be shattered soon as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has rejected a move by the federal government to use the 2019 personnel verification exercise to incorporate lecturers into the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS).

ASUU’s position, it was gathered, is that its members were employed by their respective governing councils, and not centrally by the federal government, stressing that it is strange to the world university system for their salaries to be paid from Abuja....

.....The lecturers had cautioned the NUC not to distract them, as they were trying to cover lost grounds occasioned by the six-month strike, insisting that the method of payment negated the principle of university autonomy agreed upon since 1992.

The union has, therefore, directed its members not to fill the 2019 Personnel Data Verification form being distributed by the Budget Office of the Federation.

The President of the union, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, in a letter written to chapter chairmen of the union, a copy of which was made available to journalists in Ibadan yesterday by the Chairman, University of Ibadan chapter, Prof. Deji Omole, directed members not to fill the personnel verification form, describing the verification form as dubious.

IT CAN'T WORK! ASUU Slams FG On Move To Draft Lecturers Into New Payment System [FULL GIST HERE] https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=2543415

But your salaries doesn't come from Abuja I suppose.

How can you be sponsored by FG and be hiding the details of your expenses from the same FG sponsoring you?
It is absurd.
Every MDA in Nigeria has it's own special expense that no outsider can understand and it is kept secret while they expect to be funded by same public they can't carry along. I am sure the mother of all fraud is going in the FG public university system.

Help me tell those lecturers. If you know the level of fraud going on in many public universities you would weep.

Going by ASUU argument there is no need for a central union.
