I am just a member who was invited by a staff in my institution through a link. The link has been disabled because of scammers. I just gave them the direction to join, I am not an admin. They know how to do the verification. Its none of my business and as far as I know, there is no harm in my being a member of the platform.

And I learnt ASUU members have been paid and it was via IPPIS that they swore not to register under. FG might have played a Maradona on them.
Anyway, since u guys swore never to get paid via IPPIS, I suggest u return the money o

roman1755:
I wonder what someone will gain by lying that ASUU members have been paid by ippis. The problem is that most people have left this platform to join telegram and that is where all the latest is happening. It is a pity some don't want to believe. It is their cup of coffee sha

Lolz, you forgot to add that people are developing high BP on the Telegram group due to incessant posting of fake news regarding April Salary loading in percentages since last week without dropping.

Guzel:

Meddlesome interloper, there were no deductions (new tax regime plus other unaccountable deductions). ASUU members did not submit BVN number as requested by government yet govt paid. Strike continues

heykims:
Was IPPIS used for the payment sir?

roman1755:
it was through IPPIS.

there will always be fake news in any platform but the LATEST I referred to here is the confirmation of receipt of February and March salaries by ASUU members. I am not promoting any platform whatsoever as I have absolutely no benefit(s) to derive from doing so. I mentioned earlier that someone from FU otuoke posted a screenshot of his alerts which I tried to post here but wasn't able to.

cerpvad:
Baba, no ASUU member posted screenshot of his salary sms alert on the group. I am afraid you are one of the harbingers of fake news on the Telegram group

Beress:

Don't mind the guy. Every now and then he kept on promoting the said fake news group, and when u challenge him he tells u he has nothing to gain, then why do u want everybody to join?


Pls no one should mention any Instagram or Telegram page here again, else I will call mod for una.

Some of us like our privacy and wouldn't want to toil with it, and Nairaland guarantees that


May Nairaland live long!

From the very beginning, FG held the knife and the yam. They had all your details and the request for VCs to revalidate the BVN of academic staff was merely a courtesy. In the end, FG got their way.

I understand it hurts to be forcefully enrolled onto a platform you didn't voluntary sign up for but your denial is far from the truth.

My wife is an academic staff in the same university as me and using the new CONUASS salary template (from the NSIWC website) and the new tax regime, her salary was calculated and we arrived at the exact figure she was paid yesterday.

For the avoidance of doubt, what was paid to academic staff was February and March Salary with the new minimum wage and 18 - 20% deductions calculated based on the gross salary. The deductions are as follows

1. Pension - 7.5%
2. PAYE Tax - 6% (in my wife's case)
3. National Housing Fund - 2.5%
4. Union Dues - 2%

In the words of Phyno, "obago', e don enter be say e don enter. ASUU has entered IPPIS and can't possibly exit it.

Every other talk on FG committing an illegality, breaching labour laws and worker's trust, dragging FG to court etc is just empty noise and okoto meow.

ASUU should pivot their agitation onto some other areas like payment of minimum wage arrears, revitalization, fulfillment/implementation of previous agreements, earned allowances etc.

In life, you win some and lose some. ASUU has lost this IPPIS battle.

On a personal note, I'm happy academic staff have been paid. At least, it'll save me some money as I won't have to be giving my wife money for personal upkeep anymore

Secondly, discussions on the platform were never coordinated and

Thirdly, my data was going like spirit in this no salary regime

A release by the Federal Polytechnic Offa Bursar on April trial payroll revealed that the following adjustment has been made to the April salary yet to be paid but already reflected in the April Trial Payroll.

The information read in part “Peculiar allowance of 7% for academic and 5% for non-academic staff has been restored” adding that “the 4% and 3.5% shortfall in March peculiar allowance of academic and non-adademic staff was included in the April Payroll”. The Bursar concluded that the staff with wrong/invalid bank account numbers were rectified.

Information on payment of the April salary was however confirmed from a credible source by union members of federal colleges of education circulated to members, which read as follows:-

Good morning esteemed Congress members. It is my pleasure to give this update on April salary. 

2. My interaction with the Director, IPPIS this morning on the delay of April salary indicates that the salary will be paid by the end of this week. 

3. That the delay was caused by President's directive that ASUU members be paid their withheld salaries. 

4. That errors committed on February and March salaries would be corrected on April salary especially under and over payments. Hence, the caution for minimum error free. 

5. That all deductions done but not remitted would be released this month particularly cooperative deductions and bank loans which have been prepared and sent by Bursars. Hence the need for proper verification to avoid mistakes. 

6. That all Federal workers either captured or not would be paid directly by ippis including ASUU members this month. Hence, the delay. 

7. That unions should negotiate with their respective state governments on tax and forward the MOU to ippis. 

The information from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) revealed that the delayed in April salary to federal tertiary institutions workers was a result of systemic problem which has been resolved. The message circulated by union leader to the Federal Colleges of Education in the country read in part “we found out from the IPPIS office that there was a systemic problem which affected the payment of April Salary in our sector”.

It would be recalled that federal government mandated all ministries, departments and agencies to enroll it staffs on IPPIS to enable a seamless payment of salaries from the central with a view to reducing leakages in public offices and reducing recurrent expenditure knowing that scores of ghost workers are in the civil service scheme. This platform has been able to identify ghost workers since it began operation. The statement concluded that “this has been resolved now, and we should expect payment this week”.

Federal tertiary institutions workers by this circular should expect payment of their [b]April salary this week[/b]using the Integrated Payroll and Information System (IPPIS) platform.
