Yohh:

That last paragraph is the catch.
The monies won't be released to the university heads to effect payment as it used to be, rather the VCs are to send the lectures' account details with BVN to Abuja for payment.
This is still IPPIS in a non-conventional way. I wait to see ASUU's response.

jmaine:


They will pay that salary and no one will provide any BVN...

Keep grasping at straws while your colleagues in LUTH are suffering the pangs of the archaic IPPIS...

I wonder why you chose to defend a useless platform that has proven to be rigid, and fraught with irregularities in a tech age.

Why must it take months to enrol and pay workers their salaries.?

ASUU members have lasted to this moment, they can tarry even more without DYING.

Yohh:

What I mean simply is that the payment won't be under the gifmis platform but will be paid straight from Abuja, a development that ASUU leadership is against.

Gomeke:
Please, any information on minimum wage arrears?

jmaine:


Lolz.. They will still use that GIFMIS, or they keep their money...

The Bursary will only have to sieve out the names of those who enrolled from those that did not, to process the pay.

The union is alert to the shenanigans of the FG... We aren't desperate.

Obtaining the BVN is not a big deal for the authorities (that's if they don't have it already).

All that is required is the salary account details which can be suplied by the bursary department of the universities.

I think this "revalidation of BVN" condition is a ploy by the FG not to pay ASUU members or delay the paying the salaries.

jmaine:


Na dem sabi my brother... Make dem keep their money... Person no go die....

roman1755:
I am also wondering how come when crude oil price (which is our major earner) has dropped astronomically.

Yohh:

If u no die, what of others that might not survive it?

chatwtme:
oil sales are done 3 months upfront. So we have money for may too. Only June is issue , cos there is no sale.

Good evening great people of this thread. Please my question is, are University recruitment part of the recruitment embargo placed by the federal government?


Secondly, do vice chancellors still have powers to make employment? from what I'm hearing about ippis, does it mean vice chancellors can no longer employ?

Questions are of serious concern.

Thank u in anticipation.

jmaine:


Yes, the University is part of the recruitment embargo placed by the FG ...

With IPPIS, it is even worse cos approval has to come from Abuja first, before the VCs can do anything.

In some instances, appointments will come from Abuja straight without the knowledge of the VCs. Imagine the possibility of that getting seriously abused.

Newbreed2018:
I thought universities are autonomous, can do their own internal recruitment on their own and therefore exempted because they are not part of the federal civil service?

Is this not what ASUU is currently fighting for.

Plz correct me if I'm wrong.

jmaine:


Yes, that is currently what ASUU is fighting for in principle. But in reality, recruitment is not 100% autonomous from the FG, especially after the inception of the recession in 2016.

To be honest VCs abused this independence by recruiting haphazardly, so the FG had to place an embargo due to our depreciating crude oil revenue.

One of ASUU major rejection of IPPIS is premised on the fact that the platform ultimate desire is to put us at the mercy of the Abuja hawks.

A situation where we are totally subjected to civil service conditions . A battle they they fought and won against the military Junta.

Newbreed2018:
Succinctly put.
