nuelyoyo:
since everything you said here is legitimate and is within the laws that set up the universities, why can't the lecturers cite them to defend themselves. Since it's their official leave they used, why can't they provide thier BVN and earn thier 'legitimate' salaries. The lecturers never talk wetin dey hungry dem.

ejibaba:


Exactly the point... Government has it why ask them to submit? Pally, they are not ready to pay...The so called multiple salaries are sabbaticals and adjunct positions, which is normal within the university system globally...why is it a problem in Nigeria...Excess workload is for teaching more than 30 students and that's in your school not other schools

Basher8583:


If you are my staff and I asked you to provide your BVN and you refuse. I will simply give you the option to provide or resign. Its not a must to work in cumpulsion. The lecturers should either provide or resign rather than go back and forth on this issue.

ejibaba:


It is actually a standard globally sir!

How about Doctors? IPPIS designed a suitable template for them but refuse to do same for academics cos they feel they are of no value in a country where knowledge is not valued.

Peppermintflav:

What you are saying in essence is that as a lecturer it is right to be drawing full salary from 2-3 federal universities.? Straight from federal purse?

rexlims:
very lame excuse from FG.
my reasons are;
1. is it that before now these lecturers receive their stipends by hand?
2. is FG saying that these lectures teaching in other schools use different names and Ids?

kikero:
The reason why lecturers have multiple jobs is simple...Nigeria does not have enough lecturers.

Indeed, the NUC issued a report in 2012 that pointed this problem of lecturer shortages out. And 8 years later, it is still a big problem

As a result, lecturers have jobs in 2 or 3 universities, because if they did not, many of those universities, mostly private, would lose their accreditation immediately. And with the number of people writing and passing JAMB far higher than the number of available spaces for them in university, that is a disaster waiting to happen.

Also, there is something called 'sabbatical' where lectures go and do some academic work elsewhere in another university, using facilities that their uni might not have. If government cuts that off because they want to stop waste...what would happen next.

Yes, let us get this IPPIS thing on the ground...but let the Educaiton ministry be realistic....otherwise, we may end up with universities lacking lecturers.

Fkj202004:
I have read so many comments here that lecturers have something that they are hiding. Well, they are trying only to safeguard their source of income in which the FG wants to take away.

Let me point to you that it is simply not wrong for any lecturer to lecture in more than one university. It is because there are no much lecturers in federal or even state universities; that is why you see one lecturer handling almost 4000 students which is not supposed to be so. So the few that is available tries to go to other schools to lecture as visiting-lecturer and even part time, and so they must be paid.

Now FG is trying every possible way to cut that off.

Who are they deceiving?

Mind you am not a lecturer not to talk of been an ASUU member.

ejibaba:


They are not complaining of excess workload from other schools stop this crap. It's well... you guys are paid 30k to run down other people's life...keep it up...

This is not an issue of excess workload...it's about a policy that will affect the university system...how much do you think University lecturers earn?? How much?? That will warrant unnecessary frustration from government...

A school in UK and even SA will employ a supervisor for you for the 2 or more years period of your thesis and dissertation. There is
exchange program and a host of other programs that allows a lecturer learn salary from her school and other schools that their services are rendered temporarily.

Don't join this government destroy the public universities because the government will come and go but Nigeria will remain and when your children complain of the terrible state of our Universities be so sure you will be bold to tell them you collected 30k to through social media destroy the university system.

omonnakoda:

Federal government DID NOT EMPLOY ANY LECTURERS

Lecturers are not government employees by law.

Try and comprehend that before replying.
Universities are autonomous LEGAL PERSONS under the Universities Autonomy Act 2003.

If Unilag owes you money you cannot sue the government and vice versa

otokx:
The government official is not being truthful, in this corona period, most of the medical experts practice in the teaching hospital and lecture in the university.

Scenario A
For instance Professor A is paid an Honorarium by LUTH where he does research and practices he drops his BVN there

Scenario B
Professor A is also a lecturer in UNILAG where he lectures and does research in the college of medicine and you have with held his salary for months and is now asking for BVN.

Let us assume he now gives his BVN to the VC of UNILAG, how will the government reconcile this scenario?

That is just a tip of the ice berg that ASUU is fighting against.

intruder15:


I don't get your write up. The government asked the lecturers to submit their BVN to aid link their payments. What's the big deal in that?

Nukilia:
Lecturers don suffer!

Quota system folks are teaching them common sense

olmoRoc:
Lecturers all over the world have multiple jobs, and some even have jobs in multiple countries. This is the kind of accusation you get from a government populated by illiterates and dropouts.

nairavsdollars:
Whats wrong in lecturers having multiple jobs? As long as they are not ghost workers

maklelemakukula:
Useless government!! How much are you paying them that you don't want them to do multiple jobs.
How will they use the peanuts you pay them to cater for themselves and their families?
The same IPPIS that made this criminal government refuse to pay LUTH resident doctors since November 2019 is what this idiotic government is talking about.

Pay them their money retarrded government of Nigeria.
If you have plans for your life and no connection in this useless country better leave Nigeria and travel out. Failed system!

Jaeis:
[s][/s]


You're not making sense. Destroy the system in what way? What's all this fuss about if they don't have things to hide? Can you provide proof that the poster gets 30k for his opinion?
It's downright dirty to say this because his opinion differs from yours. Be civil

ejibaba:


So much big deal. First, they are asking they fill a form not just submit BVN. The form is the same reason they denied them their salaries because ASUU have rejected enrollment in IPPIS...Academic staff is saying capture our peculiarities in the system like they did for Doctors, that also consult for other hospitals...is that a big deal too?

leosahm:

Nwodosis:
They should look at the Medical Consultants having private hospitals and also working in government hospitals!

intruder15:


I get now. Well, they should resolve their differences and submit their BVN. I see no reason why anybody on government payroll should be paid without BVN linked to the payment.

jolyment:



Just wanna know which school the sorting is going on.
