Any lecturer that does not use the IPPIS Platform should be sacked and replaced, let him or her go and meet ASUU for employment.

ceaser:
IPPIS has been severely compromised. It was meant to be a check to corruption in the civil service. While it minimised graft at the level of parastatals, it significantly has a multiplier effect of corruption among the ministries in Abuja.

If the arrears of EAA will be paid following migration to IPPIS, it will not come on a platter. The money will be calculated and each university will have to go cap in hand to beg at the Accountant general for the release of the funds. If they are lucky to be considered, the ministries in Abuja in connivance with the Accountant General personnel will demand for 20% of the total amount as kickbacks. So at the end, the executives of ASUU in each institution will have to come back to their members with the condition attached to the release of funds. An agreed amount will then be deducted from the arrears of each member to make up that demanded 20% bribe to the ministry.

While in some cases, the whole bribe is a grand scheme only initiated by the staffs in Abuja and the union are helpless, in most cases, it will also include a connivance with the union leaders (ASUU in this case) who will have added their own calculated percentage by the time they are reporting back to members i.e, Abuja may demand 15% bribe to release funds, but the union leaders will report back home that 22% is demanded.

And ASUU's fears that they may have to visit Abuja at every point of salary conflict resolution is valid. When such situation arises, union leaders occasionally cash in on that opportunity to make money off of members by asking that money be donated for them to do the runs, processing and possible monetary incentives of the guys at Abuja.

Taxes have to be paid, yes. I am taxed an upward of 155k monthly. And the IPPIS platform ensures that taxes are paid, not just that but correctly paid cos the deduction is from source. This bypasses the negotiation that takes place between civil servants and the SIRS (state internal revenue service) to reduce the amount deducted for taxes. While adequate and correct payment is a good thing, the refusal of the ruling elites to utilize these taxes for basic infrastructure but instead divert such into their own pockets make payment of taxes such an undesirable burden for an average Nigerian civil servant, a fear that ASUU has rightly outlined as one of their points against IPPIS enrollment.

In terms of remunerations, IPPIS should have been a good place to ensure each staff get what they are entitled to, but sadly it has become a portal through which disgruntled subsets of some professions enforce their financial insecurities on junior colleagues. An example is that of some bad eggs among some head of parastatals that connive with IPPIS desk officers in their centres and those in Abuja to illegally deduct allowances from staff salaries and divert such deductions to be shared among themselves. Preposterous circulars are usually released by the ministries to legitimise such deductions. Removal of rural allowances, specialist allowances etc. are a few of such illegalities that have been successfully perpetrated by these people. So the fears of ASUU in that regards is equally justified.

IPPIS should be constantly audited to ensure that the reasons for which it was established, transparency and accountability, is still maintained. Sadly as is usual with some bad Nigerians who thrive only and best during times of crises, it has been sabotaged and frought with irregularities.

The fact that some public institutions are revenue generating bodies should not preclude them from being enrolled on IPPIS if the Federal Government really want them to be on the platform. Conferring a special status on 'revenue generating' bodies like the CBN is the stupid reason the CBN staff are paid far above the staff of other agencies who are contributing no less to the socio-economic development of Nigeria. I keep asking myself, is an accountant working in the CBN doing more than an accountant working in the OAGF? Or is a medical doctor in the NNPC doing more work than a medical doctor in the Federal Ministry of Health? Minimum wage aside, there is need for salary harmonization so that a computer analyst with the PTDF, for example, is at par with a computer analyst with the FCTA.

. There are specialized jobs and those jobs are paid differently. A doctor in NNPC is paid more than one in another sector. This reason is based on his special area of work.

The FGN should as a matter of fact sit down and looked into this IPPIS role as it will favour the tertiary institution. IPPIS is just an accounting format that can be designed in Nigeria, but it was chose to be an outdated format from Kenya, where billions of dollars are paid to the soft ware designers. Let's adopt our own system and test run adequately within us.

Really?

Well I'm glad that majority of readers on here will sense the veracity of the claims of irregularity that has bedevilled the IPPIS since it was sabotaged.

Sad is the fact that you being an inside man, the best you can posit is to accuse those worried about being short-changed due to the corruption in IPPIS as the corrupt ones themselves.

Not surprised that an IPPIS representative will cry foul of the splinter in ASUU's eyes when the accuser has logs in his. No worry, more customers are coming from ASUU, more dirty money for the ministries, the OAGF and IPPIS desk officers.

Peeps, y'all can see for yourselves now?

Nasige:

You are very correct, the employment letter been issued in the last 3 weeks in most of the tertiary institution will shuck you, to me ASUU is using delay tactics to cover up their mess.

Asquare84:


Bross if I should tell you the number of appointment letter that have been issued in the last two months you will be marveled, a federal college of education issued out 400 appointment letter in two weeks backdated the appointment to years back and this are ghost workers that some staff have been collecting their salaries in the same way federal university wukari have issued out over 1000 appointment in one month. If I should start mentioning higher institution here Nigerian will be ashamed of our country

My advice to Nigerian govt is that they should not back down on threat by ASUU not to join ippis

Their is something ASUU is protecting which is ghost workers

Guys, there's something I'm missing here.

Are you guys saying that ASUU is the body that gives employment in our varsities?

ASUU is a body in the university system and they are responsible for the day to day running of the university system.

Stop saying what you dont know. How is ASUU responsible for the day to day operations in a university? What happened to the university council? ASUU is only responsible for academic staff welfare. If they wont join ippis their reasons are entirely diff from that of the council who may have their own hidden agenda. That doesnt make them bedfellows with ASUU

Why are you speaking plenty grammar, when you where in school do you even have idea of who and who made up the governing council, the ASUU members responsibilities is more than just academic welfare.
