The Buhari/Osinbajo administration is continually looking to find a lasting solution to the ongoing ASUU strike with respect to ensuring that students in tertiary institutions resume as soon as it is safe for them to do so, based on the recommendations of the Presidential Task Force on Covid19.

This was revealed by Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment while participating of Radio Nigeria’s weekly enlightenment program, Have Your Say. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria stated that ASUU must have something to hide else it would have asked its members to register on the IPPIS platform.

“The fact that all unions have signed up to IPPIS shows that the government is acting in good faith to rid the country of multiple salaries and ghost workers, so a situation where a single union would hold the nation to ransom is uncalled for as there seems to be things that ASUU are trying to hide.”

“ASUU said they were not satisfied with IPPIS as it did not cater for some of their peculiarities and would rather set up University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS). The initial time span for this they could not state, after much pressure they decided on a year to which the federal government agreed on the condition that pending that time their members should register on IPPIS and when UTAS was ready they can all migrate to it, a condition that ASUU has since refused.” The Minister added.

Recall that ASUU themselves have accused the FG of underhand tactics by lamenting the imposition of IPPIS on ASUU members which had resulted in mutilation or outright non-payment of members’ salaries since February 2020, and that the problems that payment of salaries through IPPIS had caused justified ASUU’s preference for (UTAS).

The North East zonal coordinator of ASUU stated that “If government had faithfully implemented the 2012 NEEDS Assessment report which identified the intensity of the rot in the Nigerian public universities, by now the universities would have been more involved in COVID-19 testing and developing solutions.”

Me I personally tire.
They should remember that the life of the youths are involved. Not just then

I think there's sincerity on the part of the FG. Because FG is ready to migrate lecturers who have enrolled into ippis to the ghost RUTA of ASUU. They should provide the federal government the acclaimed RUTA they said they will provide.

To the lecturers who are hellbent on listening to ASUU, I hope ASUU are the ones paying your salaries.

ASUU is not indispensable, if they refuse to adhere to what their employer wants, they should be shown the way home. how does registration and the government trying to cut down lecturers that receive multiple salary as a problem

This report, if I must say, is an old report because according to ASUU, UTAS is now ready and has been presented to Ministry of Education and NUC it remains FG to put it, to what they called "integrity test".

So, therefore, the above report, without any source more than that it was on Radio Nigeria seems to me like old news or even fake news

IamWonderful:

If you do not understand how a system works, please do not castigate the system. No lecturer collects multiple salary in Nigeria, if you know any please report such to EFCC and ICPC!
Nigerian lecturers do legal activity called "visiting" but the only problem is that they over do this activity to the extent of draining their own energy to serve their primary employer! I will actually not blaime them for doing this because their take-home-pay is too useless to take them home and they simply have to take care of their financial needs.

Of course, everyone know this.

Which system are you talking about? multiple salaries was of the reasons the federal government mentioned for introducing IPPIS to cut down cost, you know better than the government? and mind you lecturer 1 with master degree collect not less than #200,000 why the same master degree is fighting to #30,000 Npower and primary school job of less than #50,000, it is just greed and insatiable animalistic desire

I have just told you, if you know any lecturer in this country called Nigeria receiving double salary from FG, please report such to EFCC and Co.
You clearly do not know that academic system have what is called "Visiting Lecturer" position. For not knowing this it clearly shows your total ignorance of the academic system. That Visiting system is practised Universally, even a lecturer from Ghana could come visiting in Nigeria and vice-versa.
You said L1 collects #200k in Nigerian public University? You must very clearly be living in a fools paradise and I wish and strongly pray that you will one day be a lecturer in one of Nigerian public Universities. Besides, to get to L1, you must have started from and went through:
Graduate Assistant, wait for three years then move to Assistant Lecturer, then wait for three more years plus your MSc before moving to Lecturer II, then wait for three more years plus some academic publications to your credit before getting to Lecturer 1. If you do not have PhD, you remain here till you retire or the University may even send you away!
