ASUU has been on strike since the past 4 months.

ASUU wants the government to approve UTAS as their means of payment.

Here's how UTAS works;
The federal government usually pays all staffs salaries into their bank accounts.

UTAS on the other hand implies that the federal government will pay each staff salaries into the university where they lecture, and the university will then have to release the funds to their respective lecturers.[b]

ASUU are pushing for UTAS because of some of their lecturers who lecture at two or more universities; it will enable them get paid more than once.
[b]
UTAS will promote more ghost workers; and will strengthen unemployment amongst youth.

For example, we have lecturers who are over 70 who still call themselves lecturers but they barely come to class while their subordinate or junior staff do all the work.

Now imagine if that professor who's over 70 is employed in 2 or more universities. It will reduce employment rate. As we all know most of these lecturers don't like to retire.

What will be the fate of students who have plans of finishing school and becoming a lecturer someday?

Most lecturers who are rendering services at two or more universities usually come up with excuses to avoid coming to classes because they may have one or two things they want to do at their other place of work (I stand to be corrected)

Why should FG approve something that will only reduce productivity amongst lecturers?

In addition, UTAS is scam as it only favors ASUU and their members.

UTAS is clearly corruption prone, and Ghost worker friendly, and should not be accepted by tbe federal government.

Why are the military, healthy, IT, government, and other sectors not complaining about the IPPIS mode of payments if ASUU does not have something up their sleeves?

ASUU should end this baseless strike as soon as possible. We just want to go back to our classes.

Stop displaying your ignorance. UTAS is a software like ippis but UTAS encompasses all the peculiarities of the university system unlike ippis that is civil service structured. While ippis is housed in the office of the accountant general, UTAS is housed in the NUC.
Universities are universal in nature and as such gives room for sabbatical leave, adjoint staff, visiting lecturers which are world standards but are not captured under ippis. Ippis taxes the gross of university salaries including allowances which is illegal whereas UTAS taxes only the gross without the allowances.
Universities are not like the military, health , civic services and others. Moreover, are u aware that the highest pay a lecturer earns is #416000 a month, that is a professor at bar?
U don’t and won’t understand why even the non academics come up with U3PS.
Pls don’t mislead the reading public

If ASUU wants increased salaries, they should fight for that!

There's nothing wrong with IPPIS

We've been at home for four months because of IPPIS/UTAS

ASUU is the enemy!!!

I always believed there is something shady about ASSU demands, because every time their demands seams different the deaper you look.
one moment they tell they are fighting for students the next another.

I am in support that UTAS should not even be considered by FG otherwise the whole idea of IPPIS will be defeated which is a single payment mechanism for civil servants.

if they feel it has issues, they should recommend a fix not
float their own.

what is to stop other sectors from coming up with their own system if ASSUs is granted.

It's not even as if all the lectures are of any use to students,
98% of lecturers either don't know/update their course or
lack teaching skills or even both.
Students do 100% of the work themselves, the only thing lecturers provide is the course syllabus.
And their excuse is always that they are there to lecture not teach.

when I take online courses from various universities, I always wonder how good Nigerian students here will be if we had these kinds of lecturers. with well-structured curriculums and lecturers that know their courses into-to.

As a student myself, I can tell that the only thing taking students to class is attendance and impromptu tests,
nothing else cos there's nothing to gain.

Stop attendance and impromptu test and how many students will bother going to class.

If ASSU care for Nigerian education system they should start by fixing it from inside.

- retire aged lecturers
-relieve the incompetent ones
-do regular lecture all supervision during lectures
-devise stringent standards for lecturers
- and many more.

Even if FG gives $500tr today, it's still the same shenanigans
and 20yrs old course materials they will still do/use.
people easily blame graduates for not knowing their course well but leave out the lecturers

Even with UTAS, the people that will move funds will still move funds.

It happens everywhere; even at the lowest grassroot

They should just let us resume
