The leadership of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities has
directed its members nationwide
to disregard a circular from the
Office of the Accountant-General
of the Federation to enrol
academic staff on the Integrated
Payment and Personnel
Information System from
Monday.
ASUU on Sunday stated that the
same Accountant-General of the
Federation had challenged the
union to develop a template that
accommodates the peculiarities
of academic staff and present
same to him.
The union said the Federal
Government needs to test its
own model of ensuring financial
transparency rather than forcing
its members captured on the
Integrated Personnel Payroll and
Information System, which
opened on Monday, a report by
PUNCH said.
Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU
National President, added that
the enrollment of lecturers was
like taking universities back to
core civil service.
Ogunyemi insisted that its
members will not take part in the
registration for the IPPIS, adding
that such steps by the Federal
Government would undermine
the autonomy of Nigerian
universities.
He said, “We have proposed to
the government that we have an
alternative that will address all
issues that the government had
raised about universities.
“The government needs to test
our own model rather than
buying into a model that will take
universities back to the core civil
service.
"With IPPIS, before a Vice
Chancellor can employ an
academic worker, the VC will
have to get permission from the
Head of the Civil Service of the
Federation.
“Universities cannot be run
within the framework of civil
service bureaucracy.
"Universities are universal cities
of knowledge creation and they
can perform best when they are
allowed to operate their system
based on the laws establishing
them.www.saharareporters.com/2019/11/25/ASUU-calls-boycott-varsites-begin-ippis-today?fb
