Hello please does stanbic ibtc do any mutual funds or trading in dollars

Una too argue sha. Let's go back to dropping investment advices and discussions

Lol instead of university workers to start negotiations with salary and wages commission on those listed allowances they keep doing media fight. Citing agreements won't work, go and collect approval from the wages commission.

We have a lot to fight for, MW arrears has not been paid, off campus rent, responsibility allowance and some others have not been paid since IPPIS. There are lots we need to tidy up through effective strike action.

Hope you haven't forgotten EA[/quote]

Nurey please which would be better in terms of maintenance and parts. C300 or an es350 both 2009

only weekends, you need just a joy ride. Lexus RX takes it all[/quote]

Oh even before the lexus? Ok thanks

Depends on what you want. The C300 drives better, but the ES will generally be cheaper to own, bar any transmission shenanigans.

I'd personally go with the C350.[/quote]

Heavenlybang and co please what do you feel about a c300 2008 model compared to an es350 2008.

Mehn all this press statements is just full of lack of research. The excuse is that the president declined assent to Nhf amendment bill. Does he not know the difference between an establishment act and an amendment act? Amendment means making corrections to an existing bill. Have a bothered to read the existing Act that was established by the national assembly?

All these excuses here are bogus and very funny. If universities generate revenue there would keep a mandatory amount to pay themselves all the allowances they need instead of comparing themselves to nnpc. It's really laughable

I read a press release from the office of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) yesterday 18th May 2020 on premiumtimesng.com. The release was titled “IPPIS: Nigerian universities misled us into paying dead lecturers – Accountant General”. After carefully reading the content of the release, I am compelled as a concerned and affected citizen to bring to the fore, some of the burning concerns associated with the implementation of IPPIS in the Nigerian Universities that the AGF is shying away from.

I am seriously disturbed that the AGF would make such selective, baseless and cursory responses to issues as important as the ones associated with IPPIS. I wonder whether the AGF is deliberately avoiding the other issues which I will highlight later or he is clearly demonstrating the best of his capabilities in addressing the issues. Whichever be the case, it is unfortunate to say the least, that this is what the AGF could offer in an office as sensitive as the one he holds in a country with very many eminently qualified citizens that could handle the affairs of the office much better.

The AGF is in charge of the national treasury and has the undeniable responsibility of convincingly clearing our practical doubts on IPPIS. But the way he is going about it suggests that he lacks the capacity to be in that office and I think all the professional bodies he belongs to should be worried about the performance of this their member and call him to order. Kindly read along as I quickly take you through the weaknesses of his claims and the lingering issues, he has been unable to address.

The office of the AGF claims that it paid dead University staff because “the Institutions deliberately forwarded to IPPIS the list containing dead ASUU members as being part of their personnel to get more personnel fund”. On this, the AGF needs to answer the following questions: is IPPIS no longer designed to eliminate ghost workers as it had been touted to be? Is it now garbage in garbage out? Was IPPIS not designed to only capture individuals personally using their biometrics? Is it not the desperation of the AGF to pay people not captured on the platform that led to the payment of deceased persons even if the institutions submitted their names as claimed? Some retired staff in some universities were also paid the two months’ salaries. Is IPPIS not supposed to automatically remove such staff from the payroll as we were told it was capable of doing? So why did he pay them? By this, the AGF has alluded to the fact that IPPIS is blind to all these and thus, a failed system.

On “non – receipt of paid salaries”, the records must be put straight less the AGF mislead Nigerians. Currently, there are seven Federal Universities in which no single ASUU member has received payment of the two moths withheld salaries the office of the AGF is claiming to have paid. Moreover, among the Universities where some ASUU members have been paid, there is none with 100% payment report so far.

The AGF claims that those not paid are either among 1,180 Lecturers whose Bank Verification Numbers (BVNs) failed verification test or have been married and have not updated their records. Is the AGF expecting Nigerians to believe him that in the seven federal Universities where no ASUU member has been paid, all the Lecturers failed the test of validation and confirmation of account details or they have all been married and have not updated their account details as he claims? It should be noted that, the number of Academic staff in one of the seven Universities alone is more than 1,180.

This claimed validation and confirmation of account details, was it by the same CBN through which salaries used to be paid before now? Would the AGF need to be informed that President Buhari was aware that members of ASUU refused to enrol on IPPIS when he directed the payment of their two months withheld salaries? Why did not he pay them through GIFMIS pending the resolution of the ongoing disagreement?

About the deduction of 2.5% of basic salary for the National Housing Fund (NHF). It is important to draw the attention of the AGF to the fact that President Buhari declined assent to the amendment act last year on the grounds that it imposes too much deductions (https://www.mondaq.com/Nigeria/Finance-and-Banking/799248/Nigeria39s-President-Declines-Assent-To-National-Housing-Fund-Bill-2018 ) and one wonders what is driving the AGF. However, the deduction if at all necessary, is supposed to be 2.5% of basic salary but what IPPIS deducts is 2.5% of gross pay. The Protest by ASUU against this deduction has a history in line with which I wrote the following in a recent article: “Come to think of it, some colleagues have been able to build their personal houses mostly, using facilities from their cooperatives most of which are still being serviced.

So, tell me why you would force someone to whom housing is no longer an issue to save for housing without their consent? Suffice it to state more clearly that, most of those who took loans from the cooperatives to complete their houses are still servicing such loans but IPPIS will NOT make and remit such deductions”. Why has the AGF failed to address the issue of non-deduction of third-party contributions that border on the welfare of workers by IPPIS? Could he have avoided it because as I wrote before “they want to impoverish University workers by creating confusion and stifling all welfare arrangements from individual workers’ salaries”?

The AGF made reference to a number of laws selectively but deliberately refused to refer to the University autonomy law and the ASUU/FGN 2009 agreement. It is necessary to inform the AGF that the ASUU/FGN 2009 agreement is a law because it has been registered with the Supreme Court of Nigeria. If he is in doubt he can verify. Moreover, all the allowances (earnable) due to University Lecturers are clearly spelled out in the ASUU/FGN 2009 agreement, again the AGF should make efforts to verify to spare himself the embarrassment of “ignorantly”/deliberately calling the allowances of the University Lecturers illegal.

On the issues of the non – remittance of Union dues. So IPPIS does not keep records of what it deducts? On the issue of consequential adjustment, is the AGF claiming he released the money to the institutions and they refused to pay their staff? He needs to come out and say so clearly. Since last year, the office of the AGF keeps assuring University workers that their peculiarities had been taken care of by IPPIS. But what do we see today?
Some other issues have been widely raised which the AGF did not address in his press release. These include:

That there are indicting reports from the office of the Auditor General of the Federation on the operations of IPPIS, on issues ranging from lack of audit trail to lack of adequate security control measures thereby making it open to untraceable manipulations (https://aljazirahnews.com/revealed-rot-in-accountant-generals-office/). For instance, one of the reports revealed that 152 officers on IPPIS did not have personnel files in their MDAs, while N193m was paid to unidentified persons (https://www.thenicheng.com/33819-2/amp/). Were these also because the institutions included dead persons’ names on their payroll? Note that these predate the payment of University employees using IPPIS.

The response of the office of the AGF to ASUU’s query about the exemption of some federal government agencies from IPPIS. About which I wrote earlier: “The AGF in December, 2019 claimed that NDIC, FIRS, NNPC, CBN etc. are exempted because they are revenue generating agencies and do not draw from the consolidated federation account. This claim is very fluid, ridiculous and untenable and one expects that all discerning minds would not accept it. The fact that they are revenue generating agencies does not guarantee they will be free from: ghost workers, payroll manipulations and other salary related corrupt practices. Therefore, if IPPIS is genuinely being deployed to fight corruption, then they should not be exempted unless if there is another justifiable reason. Or, is the AGF saying that such infractions are allowed in those agencies simply because they generate revenue?”

ASUU is not against the Federal Government’s fight against corruption but desires that the fight should be done according to the laws of the land as far as the University system is concerned. That is why ASUU is developing the University Transparency and Accountability Solution to be domesticated in the Universities according to their autonomy law. It should at this point, be clearly stated that ASUU is not University administration that supplied IPPIS with payroll information of the Universities.

The AGF will need to come clear and convincingly clarify these issues to the general public. Since the AGF is going the way of the laws albeit, selectively, he needs to also refer to the extant law that enables the use of IPPIS.
Finally, may I appeal to the general public to try to get balanced information on IPPIS to enable them make informed contributions to the ongoing debate no matter the level of their loyalty to the “government of integrity”. ASUU’s struggle has been on for a while simply because some of those who benefitted from it have continued to fight ASUU mainly because of their loyalty to government. Whatever, anybody’s reason may be for hating ASUU, they should remember that, “The mouth of an elder may stink but out of it comes wisdom”. A Tonga proverb.

Jurbe Joseph Molwus, Ph.D. [/quote]

Lol ASUU should go and get it's act together. The number 1 is the dumbest reason ever. It's just equivalent to saying they don't know the Act the PAYE tax goes to so there should not pay personal income tax. I expected them to go and read the nhf not to come and say they didn't register so they shouldn't be deducted. Do they understand the word "mandatory ". There should be there Ranting.
Secondly even the FG can't unilaterally increase salary without salary and wages commission. NSWIC prepared the template for this minimum wage they are clamouring for. ASUU shouldn't be lazy and should read up the Act of this existing institution before grumbling. If NSWIC do not approve an allowance it is illegal. They should be releasing press statements up and down o instead of going to get approval




*IPPIS ON A CROOKED PATH TO DEMORALIZE TERTIARY EDUCATION IN NIGERIA*

I read with keen interest, a press release from IPPIS as released by the Director of Information, Press and Public relations (Henshaw Ogubike) and felt it's necessary to call the attention of IPPIS to some grey areas in dealing with thousands of highly learned Tertiary institution workers in the country. IPPIS press release is a great shambles of it's kind, information with no substance is worthless.

1. NHF DEDUCTIONS:

(a) The NHF Act you referred to didn't state in any of its paragraph, that deductions should be made from employees salaries before registration/enrollment for the scheme. This is what IPPIS did! Deductions were made from employees salaries for months, when they've not been enrolled nor registered for the scheme. We do not know our account details or the names of those that were used to register in lieu of ours. We do not know the account details nor the signatories to the account to which our money is being deducted. We do not know where the interest rate accrued on such deductions goes to.

What form of ill professionalism and misinterpretation of the law?

(b) IPPIS claimed to have studied the NHF Act and stated in the press release that 2.5% of basic salary should be deducted, but what you have so far deducted is 2.5% of our gross. We will be glad if you could please make your deductions template public on this. The main reason such information lacks substance.


2. UNION DEDUCTIONS
IPPIS is not a member of the Tertiary institution Unions (ASUU, SSANU, NASU or NAAT), why is IPPIS so concern about another man's business. The official directive of the Unions leadership after contacting their members through congresses, should be a starting point for IPPIS involvement towards such deductions. The interpretations and applications of rules, laws or whatever, concerning the Unions should be left to her members. You should be officially informed about whatever issue concerning our Unions as third party. If you have such directive from any of the Unions requesting your assistance in the 2% deductions of members salary, kindly make it public.

3. ALLOWANCES
Many of the Tertiary institution allowances are part of the agreement signed with the FG for years dating as far as 2009. The National Wages, Salary and Income Commission (NSIWC) is a component of the FG. We signed those agreements with the bigger pictures, referring us to NSIWC is sycophantic. The FG should directly issue memo reneging such agreement, which they have not fulfilled for years, causing unending disaster in the education system. IPPIS challenging FG position on those agreements and the Tertiary institutions, is a clear indication to bringing government down and a formal abuse to the committee members of such agreement, that they lack knowledge and incapable of contributing to National development. Some allowances that were part of the consolidated salary was as well removed. IPPIS and the crooked path.

4. WRONG PAYMENT
Wrong payment to retired, deceased staff for 3 months consecutively is a clear indication that, a very wide gap exist between the bursary unit of the Tertiary institutions and IPPIS. Three months!

5. The allegations levied on the management of tertiary institutions on the non-payment of consequential adjustment arrears should be made more substantial, show us memo issued, directing the Bursar's of the Tertiary institutions to calculate due payment of arrears for staff as at December, 2019 or a certain amount released to the institutions for the payment of such.

We shall continually be honest, loyal and faithful to our dear country in discharging our duties in ensuring a better Society and the hope for a developed Nation, if industrial harmony is guaranteed.

*Tunde Osundare*[/quote]

To be honest, the FG would win this fight. Tertiary institutions have been underpaying their tax and the nhf is compulsory according to the nhf act unless ASUU wants to amend the current nhf tax. The paragraph that says all allowances must be approved by salary and wages commission is the law. Even before nnpc increases salary they need to obtain approval from salary and wages commission. https://www.nsiwc.gov.ng/Activities.php

What ASUU should do now is obtain approval from salary and wages commission to pay some of those allowances and forward to office of the accountant General.



A robust rebuttal by the office of the OAGF... But I noticed some blunder...

He blamed Tertiary education administrators for not paying the minimum wage arrears.. Isn't that stupidity...

He also claimed NHF% was taxed from the basic, I believe that will also turn out to be false if scrutinized..

He didn't justify why union dues is based on 2% of the gross rather than on the basic salary...

Can I transfer from paramilitary to FIRS[/quote]

Dude your number 1 and 3 questions show you know nothing about civil service and you just copy and paste so let's leave it like that. A step is added every year automatically. You don't need to be due for promotion to be given a step. You are really funny sha, e say na promotion by step. Step 13 means you have spend 10+ years on a particular level and that almost never happens unless your village people are after you.

Hello Sir, information doesn't call for insult or arguement rather intellectualism should be portray in public domain. Nobody can be an Ireland of knowledge and we should get our point straight. When you check the analysis being given by me it was mentioned that in some instance " which has to do with discretion on the part of FCSC" that when there is no promotional exam in some year that the person might be promoted by steps. there are three questions I will ask you and your friend "Awele 186"

1. What might be the reason why someone being promoted by steps at time when you have spent 3-4years in thesame level?

2. Why is it that level 9 Step 13 salary is more than level 10 step 2 salary?

3. What is the difference between a step and level?

You can use the attached as guideline[/quote]

It's really obvious you have no clue how civil service operates. What Maiturare1 said it's what's in the Public Service Regulations. Then were did you get level 9 step 13 from? It's just easy if you say i don't know

If is being done the way being analysed by you there is no way the Junior cadre won't meet up with the Senior ones. When it comes to promotion in Civil Service steps goes a long way because salary of someone on Level 9 step 13 is more than someone on Level 10 Step 2 because the one on Level 9 Step 13 have spend longer year on that level but because there is no promotion exam in some year they will just increase the person steps.[/quote]

Thanks

Hello, please a quick one, Camry 2012 SE and lexus es350 2010 which would you pay for? Can you compare please

Sharap there, if you like don't contribute anything to the national economy and be here disturbing us about ASUU. Lazy set of people, is it not the same ASUU people that can read on tv or can't call numbers during elections. My friend go and sit down, ippis is here to stay, if you don't like it you resign. All due process must be followed before peculiarity allowance should be restored. Better start seeking for approval for salary and wages commission or else it would continue to get slashed. Your mates are developing ventilators, you sit and use outdated curriculum.

Your idea that academic staff in universities lazy reveals your stock. Stop showing ignorance. Stop comparing those that just process memos to those that carry out teaching and research. It reeks of lack of understanding. Comparing professional association subscription to research is an all time low for you. If you are a dean, H.o.d or head of a committee it is seen as community service, stop the unequal comparisons. Guy use the internet during this lock down now! I can't teach you everything.

Most academic I know are subscribed to a minimum of 3 professional associations (Int'l, Nat'l& Specialization), it's just what it is. Leave your narrow group of friends and expand your horizon. It may open you up to what constitute academic work

If you are a product of a faulty tertiary education system, blame yourself. Stop generalizing. I've had wonderful lecturers that won international grants. I know.of lecturers who are in research teams in in the USA, Canada, UK, kenya and SA. These are teams with funding from Bill and Melinda, UN, NIH and co. Your narrow perspective is definitely not the state of the art in Nigeria.

I have said before and I will say it again the government will still invite ASUU to the negotiating table because they see beyond the deceit of politicians.

All ye anti ASUU, see the politician as your common enemy, the COVID-19 pandemic has made that evident. They don't even know that our hospitals are poorly equipped. How will they know about the lack of reagents, learning resources and spaces, acute shortage of experts in certain disciplines on our campuses.

ASUU struggle is about quality and affordable Univ edu needed to provide the needed knowledge worker for our development efforts. Since most of us can't travel abroad

[/quote]

You have written a whole lot of jargon and also contradicting yourself. Lol everyone within a government circle is either a civil servant or a public servant. The definition of both is there for you to see and you can resign if you don't want to be called such. My dear i also recieve peculiarity allowance and if you don't have approval from salary and wages commission it would be removed when you join ippis.
You must also think mdas are just for core ministries forgetting mda means (ministries, department and agencies) even dpr are cbn are called mdas are the not under ippis. They were exempted because they kept a certain percentage of their revenue for running cost(personnel/capital expenditure). However you bring absolutely nothing to the government. You very lazy and lack the capacity to innovate and develop inventions. Just imagine calling 35k as what you use to publish journals that's change compared to what other people in mdas used to renew their yearly professional subscription.
If the non academic staff was not paid, they should sort it out with ippis as many of you work for different universities at the same time and you would be exposed soon enough. NUTAS is just another way to continue with the ghost workers, the Nigerian university system keep peddling.
Lastly the university system in Nigeria is very lazy, you carry out no research and you want to compare yourself to your counterparts in developed nations. Do you know how much foreign direct investment those universities bring to their nation or even grants. You sit down with your outdated curriculum and expect the world to revolve around you. If you like don't sort your issue with ippis and come online to rant. You want to resolve government subversion and still remain independent

The reason I avoid arguing with people who are not aware of issues is because of unregimented argument such as this.
What was the issue? MDAs lost some allowances when they joined IPPIS. Then I articulated the reasons why those allowances perculiar to universities should be restored. Publishing in a reputable journal is not less than 35k amongst other issues I raised.

Now to the issues you raised, the issue wasn’t about the need to sustain or reject ippis but based on perculiar allowances. So benching the ippis thing on my response on perculiar allowances gives you away. ASUU and some of us have taken turns to write on the Ippis issue hence expanding the issue here again is totally unnecessary. We have articulated our issues against ippis; some are have manifested in the February and March salaries.

Again you comparing the UK sabatical thing further expose your ignorance. Are you aware that some non-teaching staff on ippis were not paid. Feb/March salaries. On another level, I hope you know even the difference between a public servant and civil servant. Apparently, from your argument you don’t know. Everyone in Govt circle is not a civil servant. Even at that, there are stakeholders in every sector, everything doesn’t start and end with government. Unions are stakeholders in government circles (learn more on unions and interest groups). I don’t know who you work for but I was employed under the laws establishing federal universities and regulations of governing council of my university which was stated in my appointment letter.
Just like many, your next line might be why not generate your salary. Government made it impossible. Higher Education is almost free in Nigeria, unlike in your UK. There is a subsidy on tertiary education hence govt takes care of salaries. Once again, I’m not a civil servant and cannot be bundled as one. Infact one of the issues at stake with ippis is the issue of autonomy of universities and their councils under this ippis which I don’t want to restate again.
Police and other similar agencies you tagged “Special MDAs” were wrongly bundled into ippis but nobody to fight for them. If ippis is for civil servants, then police etc have no business there. If it is meant for public servants, then let’s amend the laws up from salaries commission and drag everyone in including Mr. President, staff of CBN, FIRS and NNPC that were exempted from ippis.

From my experience in the UK, academics don’t earn peanuts and are not forced to enroll in a central payment system like Ippis neither are they civil servants. Professors in UK earn above 100k pounds annually whereas their Nigerian counterparts take home less than 20k dollars despite the harsh working conditions.

Hope you are aware that the 2009 agreement states that proffesors will earn the equivalence of 4K dollars monthly. Today profs. take home less than 1500 dollars dues to exchange rate wahala. The benchmark of 4K dollars then was to attract foreign scholars. My colleagues rush to UK etc for sabbatical but we can’t attract any to Nigeria atleast for exchange of ideas. Today government wants to destroy all the Memorandum of Understanding/Agreement/Actions signed with Ippis.
No doubt there is huge corruption in the system, ippis is not the solution as it’s creating huge problem which is like rubbing Peter to pay Paul. ASUU as a responsible stakeholder is developing an alternative known as NUTAS( Nigerian Universities Transparency And Accountability system) free of any charge. This is unlike the ippis where government pays hundreds of billions to the contractors to maintain. This NUTAS will be domiciled in our institutions with a desk officer sent by ippis OAGF. There are “claims” that ippis office inserts names in university payroll who are not staff of the universities. A staff of my bursary unit told me that some of payslips of February sent to my university were not staff of the university. They were quickly retrieved. [/quote]

This is actually the easiest method of transfer. Since you under the parent ministry, try talk to someone (permanent secretary/director) in your ministry who in turn puts in a good word to the DG of the Agency for you.



Hello house




Please help me



Who knows how possible it is to transfer within a federal ministry from civil service to another parastatial/agency under the same ministry?



For instance if someone is working as a civil servant in ministry of health how can they transfer to any agency like NAFDAC or NDLEA still under ministry of health? Thanks[/quote]

Felt you'd come up with a better argument instead of writing books. Do you know the risk some other specialised mdas also face, i know mdas that staffs must belong to their professional bodies and be current before promotion is due. You talking about failing cultist, do you know the hazards some other specialised mdas face on duties.
So if you to sit with the minister of finance and accountant General and you are asked to defend the need for universities perculiar paying mechanisms, this is what you would say? Writing journal and grading cultist? Even i would come up with a better reason for universities.
Finally if you go on sabbatical to a university in the UK won't you work according to the laid down guidelines of the university? So why won't foreigners work according to our university and civil service guidelines? Are lectures not in the civil service? You can teach in a private university if you don't want government intervention or interference



My dear universities are not run as MDAs anywhere in the world. Universitas (universal)
Staff of MDAs don’t write books, journals or attend conferences for promotion plus numerous membership fees for professional associations.
They don’t need masters and PhD for promotion
Imagine the hazard of grading and failing cultists who in turn threatens university staff.
What if we decide to employ foreign specialists as academics, do we subject them to civil service rules? [/quote]

Whether strike or not, those deductions are the same across all mdas under ippis. I know lots of agencies who had allowances removed when they joined ippis until approval was sort for salary and wages commission.


I always said it that SSANU and NASU were stupid to join ippis. United we stand, divided we fall. Assuming the whole university unions had joined hands together to fight ippis. They would have won. Who is loosing now, out of selfish interest..... Mchew.......the minister of finance and accountant general are scammers.....i am so damn sick of this country. I bet the unions will be gearing up for strike after corona........ [/quote]

100% correct. ASUU needs to get approval from salary and wages commission before peculiarity allowance can be paid.


Received this from a union leader in a Federal University:

Dear esteemed members,

Since we last communicated with you on our pay, we have carried on with our investigations through discreet IPPIS sources. The following represents the information we got for now, pertaining to February and March salaries:

1. Deductions for pension was 7.5% of gross pay as opposed to 7.5% of basic salary which used to obtain.

2. Union due was deducted for everybody and it was made 2% of gross pay, again as opposed to 2% of basic salary.

3. IPPIS taxes gross pay and uses real tax formula as opposed to negotiated tax we were paying before.

4. There now is a 2.5% compulsory deduction for National Housing Fund (NHF). It is a compulsory savings scheme introduced by the FG.

5. That we were paid what was called "peculiarity allowance" in February but that it has now been discovered that we were not entitled to it. This was stopped in March. And what was mistakenly paid to us in February was also deducted.

Finally, and this will surprise everybody: information we got has it that the new minimum wage has been implemented, that it was what was used to pay us in Feb and March. Arrears have however not been paid.

We have written to the IPPIS Director to demand for payslips (for clarifications) for the months of February and March, among others.

Thank you all for your patience.

Oh please, what are Nigerian universities doing right now in terms of research and development. Universities in saner climes are developing prototypes of ventilators and ASUU is going on strike because of ippis. We know Nigerians don't know how lectures squander all the reserch grants given to them by Tetfund. It's just pathetic sha, they can't come up with ways to develop their igr, can't get research grants from ngos, can't generate their own electricity, can't develop or research anything. Just obsolete if you ask me. The only set of people government should not joke with are health practitioners and those in university teaching hospitals.

I am really surprised that you work in one, you can as well resign. I'll try to increase your knowledge a little, while you read up on the rest during this stay-at-home.

Universities provide the required highlevel manpower for all the sectors of the Nigerian economy. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic frontline Medical personnel in testing and treatment in Lagos, includes substantially academics from CMUL/LUTH and other tertiary health facilities. This is seen as community service. This is in addition to the teaching and research functions. Compare the fatality rates of Nigeria to that of the first nations. There you have your answer. Stop being myopic, selfish, think beyond your take home.

I've read a lot of selfish post like yours and I'll point out certain facts. You benefitted from a highly subsidised tertiary education and also employed in one, with your meagre scale from Contiss 8 - 15, can you successfully train 3 of your wards in the private institutions? Your guess is as good as mine. I've followed ASUU for a long period and I know they always get the government back to the negotiating table, how they do it I don't know. I only hope members of other unions would not proceed on strike after an agreement between them (just like we read about the EA wahala).

I think I agree with with ASUU that the strike is beyond IPPIS, it's for the survival of public tertiary institutions for those that are poor (and the rich). The end game of government is to privatise public universities which would make it unaffordable for majority of Nigerians cos right now Ngr is the poverty capital of the world.

This is not the first time that salaries of ASUU members are withheld by NGR leaders. It may not even be the last. It's better you take it in now that ASUU is a top notch union with strong ideology of cheap access to tertiary education as a fundamental right of qualified students. It's always disheartening when I see other unions in tertiary institutions working against ASUU when they've done next to nothing to in this regard. Government sees university unions as one and ASUU as the intellectual leader that sees through the deceit of politicians.

The politics of this higher education unions tire me. You can always sense the hidden disdain for ASUU in their comments. When you ask them what they've done to improve the system...that's a $1B question

Lol other countries generate enough money to pay themselves, even generate their own energy/electricity. You want money from the government but don't want to play by their rules. The hypocrisy


Fact about what you don't know. Are you returning the Nigerian universities back to the civil service era. What ASUU fought over the years during the military era. Do you even know the implications of ippis on the flexibility and proper functioning of our university system? Have seen any country where ippis is enforced on universities?

From those in the ministry who converted to IPPIS earlier than us in the tetiary institution, adviced that we should not border with some irregularities in the first 3 months. He said the we dont expect it smooth in the 1st three month but that afterwards, we will have course to celebrate.[/quote]
