The national body of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has said that some of its members in seven universities across the country, were denied salaries for the month of February and March, as a result of the IPPIS reform. In a statement signed by its President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, members of the association had suffered substantial cuts in salaries. He said in seven universities, none of their member was paid. The News Digest gathered that the seven universities include Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Nnamdi Azikwe University, University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), Federal University Dutse, University of Agriculture Umudike, and University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). Ogunyemi, futher criticized the IIPIS initiative, saying the process is alien to the association and unacceptable to the union, as it does not conform to the working system of universities in Nigeria. “IPPIS is allien to the workings of the University system. Therefore, we were not surprised that the paid salaries were fraught with irregularities such as ommission of names, extraneous deductions, non-remittance of deductions, non-accommodation of academics on sabbatical and study leaves, together with sudden termination of contract appointments. “The national leadership will leave no stone unturned to redress all the injustices associated with the payment of the withheld February and March 2020 salaries,” he said. ASUU has also refuted the claim that IPPIS was the reason they had embarked on industrial action, which has lasted for seven weeks. “Meanwhile, let us all remember that the dispute over IPPIS was not the main issue over which the union declared the current industrial action. Government introduced matters of salary seizure and IPPIS enrollment to divert attention from its failure to meaningfully address our demands for revertilization fund, earned academic allowances, visitation to universities, funding and governance issues in state universities, and conclusion of the renogotiation of the 2019 FGN-ASUU memorandum of action,” its President maintained.
