May pay minimum wage arrears to varsity workers this week

By Johnbosco Agbakwuru

ABUJA–PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has directed the National Information Technology Development Agency, NITDA to subject the Integrated Payroll Personnel Information System, IPPIS and the two other proposed payment solutions proposed by University workers to integrity test.

This is as the Federal Government is making efforts towards ensuring that the Consiquential Adjustment/ minimum wage arrears are paid to the striking university workers this week in order to persuade them call off the ongoing strike.

Recall that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU and the non teaching staff Joint Action Committee, JAC, comprising the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, have lamented that they were being shortchanged in their salary payment since the government introduced IPPIS as the official payment platform.

As an alternative, ASUU proposed to the government the University Transparency Accountability Solution, UTAS, while SSANU and NASU on their own, proposed the University Peculiar Personnel and Payroll System, U3P

The peculiarities include employees’ salaries, bonuses, deductions, net pay, generation of pay-advice and other financial reports using accounting best practices and also seek to essentially automate those micro administrative tasks performed by accountant general office and bursars of federal institutions, thereby giving the office the mental bandwidth to focus on the macro.

In a tripartite plus meeting attended by the leadership of the university-based unions including the National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige and other relevant stakeholders, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, President Buhari directed NITDA to subject the three payment solutions to integrity test.

.What is happening there is a matter of Ego.. someone sitting on a high chair there decides to punish ASUU because they question the legitimacy of his professorship and here we all are at square zero.. Ego..

May we not be cursed with egoistic leaders.

Not just that. ASUU has ulterior motives. This much is clear. All federal workers are on IPPIS. The police, military, civil service, etal without any complaint. Why has ASUU chosen to be adamant?

Rubbish happening under this current administration, if it's another individual entirely Nigeria would have been under serious lockdown by bow! It's a pity

Person who lacks integrity shouldn't be talking about integrity, infarct Bihari and integrity shouldn't be in the same statement

Please help me beg ASUU to end strike. I'm crying. No business and survival for me.

Buhari and Integrity in the same sentence...

We were told that Education is the key,
But Education is given no attention in Nigeria.

What a government! So it's now that you want to start the Test. After 3 months? Na wa!
