Without prejudice to ASUU's effort to confront the IPPIS regime and other related issues, I am in the process of fashioning my own (individual) to response to the new IPPIS truncated pay or salary.

1) Henceforth, I will work according to pay rate. I will not go into details here for personal reasons.

2). I will no longer participate in any NUC-organized events such as resource verification or course accreditation visits. I don't need all for my professional standing or profession. Several times I risked life and limb to do accreditation for literally peanuts. No more.

3) I will treat thesis supervision as either optional or based on university "paying" first, then "I work".

4) No more exertion in the system for peanuts. So the system gets what it pays for.

5). My health, well-being, repose and enlightened self-interest first (before duty), etc. etc.

Note: since I joined this profession at barely 19 years old in 1984-5, my salary has been rising steadily until 2020, in the regime of IPPIS and Buhari. So, my new personal battle cry is "what you pay is what you get from now on!"
