The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation has replied to some aggrieved university lecturers who are complaining about a shortage in their salaries.

The AGF office was responding to series of complaints from university lecturers, especially the University of Maiduguri, saying they submitted their data late and most of the data were wrong.

The lectures claimed they are being short paid as some receive as low as N6000 per month after they migrated to the IPPIS platform.

But in a swift reaction, the Director IPPIS, OAGF, DR Nsikak Ben, said the lecturers’ claims were largely misplaced as they were the architect of their travails.

In a text message, he said: “The issue of non payment of the salaries of some ASUU members is because they did not participate in the biometric exercise and even when FG gave a directive for the Universities to furnish IPPIS with data of ASUU members, some Universities populated incomplete and wrong data on our platform.”

He noted that: “Universities of Maiduguri and Umudike refused to submit their data in March 2020 and only did so later part of the year with wrong data,” he claimed.

Thus he said; “given the decentralisation of IPPIS, desk officers of IPPIS have been given access to make updates on their payroll so omission of ASUU members can be corrected at the back end.

“During the last FG/ASUU meeting held on 14th October, measures were taken to solve this problem with IPPIS, NUC and ASUU.
“Out of over 700 MDAs on our platform, it is only ASUU that is complaining of non payment of their members. Your guess is as good as mine,” he stated.

And yet they say Buhari is incompetent. Simple task, submit data. They can't. At the end of the day it is to blame Buhari for what he knows nothing about or something that doesn't concern him.

The output of a country's public service is dependent on the quality of its directors.

The progress of a country's technological hub relies on the dexterity of its inventors.

The revenue of a country's primary production sector correlates with the number of literates.

The quality of a country's health service depends the training of the doctors.

Doctors , directors , inventors and all professionals need tutors to develop their maximum capabilities.

At advanced level , we often call it "Human Capital Development" instead of education. Human beings are more worthy than whatever resource that is extracted from land or sea.

Nigeria is behind because it is yet to develop sufficient human capital to push the country forward.

These mistakes do not occur in the payment system of National Assembly Members which makes objective analysts like me conclude that education isn't the priority of Nigerian leaders and this makes the future dim
