THE Academic Staff Union of Universities has said the University Transparency Accountability Solution can be ready in three weeks if the Federal Government is committed.

Last week, the FG had told ASUU to transit to Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System pending when UTAS would be ready for use.

However, in an interview with The PUNCH, ASUU President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, said there was no need to transit to IPPIS since UTAS could be ready in at most three weeks if government was sincere.

“What is left for UTAS to pass integrity test is what we have started with National Information Technology Development Agency; we have submitted documents to NITDA.

“If government demonstrates sufficient goodwill and support, we can put the final stage behind us as a matter of weeks, maybe two to three weeks at most. It is the goodwill, commitment that we are now looking for.

“Rather than focusing on that, government is insisting that there is a transition; transition for how many weeks, how many months? This last week, they still paid some of our members who are not on IPPIS. So, what platform did they use?

“We have been telling them, use the platform you have been using to pay people; why the insistence on IPPIS? That is the reason we are saying there is a hidden agenda about IPPIS.

“At the appropriate time, we will expose those who are behind it. We have submitted every document, except if they want to sit on the documents. If they don’t want to sit on the documents why are they saying we should go back to IPPIS,” Ogunyemi queried,

While reacting to the issue of the N30bn Earned Academic Allowance offered by the FG which ASUU said it would be for its members alone, Ogunyemi explained that the union negotiated for ASUU not for other unions.

He added that it was illogical for the government to say other unions would benefit from it.

Forget the propaganda buy ASUU president, a payment platform is not just any ordinary software, even ASUU presidennt knows that.

Alfa test takes 3months.

Beta test takes 3months.

To finalize everything for the software to pass national security test will take another 3months, if FGN will be fast with everything then it will take up to 6month for the test to get completed.

How long did it take ASUU to come up with UTAS, it took them years, forget what they are saying about starting UTAS around March this year, they have been on it for long.

When you listen to ASUU president or any branch chairman, especially the branch chairmen, do not take most of what they say serious, they are just playing mind games.

Stupid fraud call UTAS

All of you mofos go dey alright Las Las
Joking with lives of the young ones

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

I keep saying this
That all undergraduate should
Forget this ASUU ND fg fight
The should equally Start taking mushin weed
Nd start up a B0mbing career
(Cos it helps)

But is it possible for Federal government to sack ASUU and order for fresh recruitment nationwide?

Why is federal government not paying CBN, NNPC, FIRS, Customs, Military, senators and rep members, etc via IPPIS?

wahala for who still dey think of school

If ASUU have its way with UTAS, I forsee other Labour bodies coming up with their own separate "UTAS". This can only happen in Nigeria in which employees dictate the means of payment

This ASUU chairman should take over from the present Nigeria labour congress chairman.
He is more active that the NLC chairman.
