EDUCATION AND POLITICAL PRIORITY IN A REGIME OF HONESTY
University lecturers have today stepped into fourth month, completed 3 months without salary, this is because they have refused to join IPPIS, a platform that's designed to pay federal civil servants which has by it's status crippled the autonomy of Nigerian universities guaranteed by the law of the land and ignored the peculiarities of academia. Those academic staff who defied ASUU and joined the platform are paying for the price. A senior colleague was telling me, at a time he was expecting minimum wage increment, he lost almost N20,000 from his pre-IPPIS salary and OAGF is claiming to have added the minimum wage to it. Even non-academic staff who their union resolved to wholeheartedly join the platform their trust has been betrayed, problems upon problems of salary shortfall, NASU is now weighing option of joining ASUU in this struggle. Last month, President Muhammadu Buhari gave directives to the ministry of finance to immediately release withheld salaries of university lecturers, but SGF and OAGF attached condition to it that BVN of the lecturers must be supplied as a condition of payment, this is to enable them to through backdoor enroll the lecturers into the infamous platform, ASUU rejects the condition. What many people did not know about university lecturing is that, the salary of a Phd holder at a position of lecturer II is not near to salary's of some aids to politicians that do not even have an office or schedule of duty. The money RRR political-musician and MC comedian earned in the 5 years of this administration, a lecturer who spent more than 20 years in the university did not cumulatively earned it as his salary. A professor who normally take not more than 550k as salary has to work for 24.5 months before he can earn a one month salary of a Senator at N13.5 million. At this time of lockdown and Ramadan, university lecturers are only milking their fats to feed their mouth. This is coming at a time government officials are claiming to have distribute billions of Naira in the name of covid-19 palliatives in a very susceptible short time with nothing to show and N37billion budgeted for National Assembly Complex renovation, other billions used for automobile purchase of NASS members. Since 2009, ASUU signed Agreement with FG on the funding of public universities, an agreement that until today government fail to honour and doesn't want hear, a reason lecturers are on strike today not because of IPPIS, reasons many people did not know.
This is interesting time for both education, governance and our common conscience in this country. Those who starve education willingly and selfishly have dreadly starved their society and time will judge the consequences.

We (all Fed. Tertiary Institutions) need to face this issue (of IPPIS) together please.
Since February is the same issue we are discussing but no any tangible solution to the problem that affect all.
IPPIS touches every part and every fed. tertiary Institution's staff is a victim, I think is high time to come together and start coming out with the solutions to this over discussed problem than to keep on complaining on the issue.. that I was paid so so so instead of so... I was paid with shortage of so... We all know that the Deduction affect all and those (ASUU) that are yet to enroll, government is doing everything possible to enroll them and as far this government, they won't rest till they push you into this scammed software if care is not taking.
My view

Dear Comrades.
ASUU is the reason for our
collective pride as academics, no matter what our opinions may be.
Lectureship would not have
been so attractive without the struggles of ASUU which had borne fruits now and again.
The government never made a volitonal move to improve our pay. ASUU made them do it, progressively, until the Table II scale we now enjoy. It wasn't the government's volitional move to grant autonomy to public universities. ASUU made them do it. The retirement age of 70 for the professorial cadre, was not a volitional move on the part of government, but as a result of ASUU's push. TetFund, from which I, personally, benefited, was not a volitional handout by the government; ASUU's push on the government made it happen. NEEDS ASSESSMENT and the attendant project monies released to public universities, was not a volitional move on the part of government; ASUU made it happen. The stand against tuition, which is beneficial to our students, was not initiated by the government; ASUU did, and has been consistent in resisting attempts by the goverment to bring it on board through education loans and the like.
EAA was, deservedly, paid to us by the government, to the extent they have paid us, not as a volitional move, but as a result of ASUU's pressure.
IPPIS was never meant for the university system. It was meant for the core civil service. And, in the light of the Autonomy Act, it is an illegality. It is a slave route and if implemented would negate all the positive gains of ASUU for the Nigerian Public University. This is unacceptable to us in ASUU, thus, the present struggle.
Now, how is ASUU selfish in all these? What do you think would have been the lot of public universities, assuming we were banking on volitional moves by the government to fix the university system?
I can't recall any volitional move by the government to fix the public university system without prodding by ASUU. So, the Nigerian University System would have collapsed without ASUU's life support.
In the light of this reality, imagine a scenario without ASUU? Lectureship might not have been an option for many of us.
Comrades, let us stand with our union, now, in this crisis, and always. It is not easy. No battle is. Our cause is noble.

Sub Dean.

IPPIS: Tell Nigerians number of ghost workers uncovered in varsities
https://www.operanewsapp.com/ng/en/share/detail?news_id=ddecfac46dd95692f1a47a37432f7fa1&news_entry_id=1c0bd931200501en_ng&open_type=transcoded&request_id=HOME_PAGE_6095cc91-7ee8-4234-ab6e-256bc7b04b94&from=news

Xenophobic attacks: Blame Nigerian govt for citizens’ plight – ASUU
Gabriel Dike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has asked the Federal Government to tell Nigerians the number of ghost workers it uncovered in federal universities since the introduction of Integrated Payroll and Personal Information System (IPPIS).

ASUU members nationwide are currently on an indefinite strike to protest the non-implementation of the 2009 signed agreement and Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) by the Federal Government.

The union is opposed to the IPPIS and has asked members not to register with the new payment platform. The government in reaction to ASUU’s rejection stopped the February and March salaries of lecturers in 43 federal universities.

The demand by ASUU for government to explain how many ghost workers have been detected with the implementation of IPPIS after three out of four staff unions registered, is contained in a bulletin issued by ASUU Universitity of Ibadan branch Publicity Committee dated 2020.

In the bulletin, ASUU said government told Nigerians that the IPPIS platform would address the loss of billions of naira to ghost workers.

“It claimed to have saved billions for the civil service and therefore extended the system to federal universities. It makes sense to want to address the issue of ghost workers and corruption in universities.

“The IPPIS exercise has been implemented for non-academic staff. They are at least four times more than the academic staff. Given this situation, it would be interesting to find out how many ghost workers were found during the exercise.

“This will reveal the truth or otherwise of the claims of the existence of ghost workers in the Nigerian university system or are we to believe that the so-called ghost workers that government alleged are in our universities are solely in the ranks of academics who only constitute barely twenty five per cent of the university staff? It appears government is being economical with the truth in this matter.”

The union observed that since inception of Buhari’s administration, no visitation panel had been sent to federal universities as required by law, to examine and access their operation including ascertaining that funds are applied judiciously.

“ASUU has spent the last five years begging the visitor to send visitation teams to universities. Paradoxically and most ridiculously, it is this ASUU that is calling for the probe of vice-chancellors that is now being accused of colluding with the same VCs. It is logical to ask why the government is reluctant to send visitation to the universities. Could the government be afraid of something?”

The union recalled that in 2017, government sent verification teams to federal universities to verify payroll claims, stating that ASUU members abandoned their works to queue in the sun before clerks from the Office of the Accountant- General of the Federation to be counted.

“It was a humiliating exercise which ASUU acceded to, believing it was in the national interest. Three years after, the report of that exercise has not been made public, even though huge sums of public funds were used to finance the exercise.”

The striking lecturers asked why it is difficult for government to make public and prosecute those found responsible for the loss of billions of naira to ghost workers in the civil service.

IPPIS in university system is not a well thoughtful policy, my position. No country in the world run their universities with this none innovative policy, even the FG knowns. They have only enforced it because the policy operators involved lack the operation of the university system.

I need the help of nairalanders to follow the handle and tweet with the right#tag as stated above

We need our voice to reach the government

Uncertainties or delay in salary payment will affect your loan repayment. You will be charged on the number of days that you defaulted.

As a former banker, I can assure you that if this trend continues unabated, your chances of securing a loan in the near future will be greatly affected.

This is where union leaders can come in either have a meeting with the bank management or the IPPIS team on the need for prompt salary payment to avoid unnecessary default.

Last month, one of my colleagues was really humiliated by his bank because of his loan is due for repayment but salary is yet to drop. And the repayment was tied to 30th. The called this guy with series of threats about 50 times within 10 minutes .

Yea it's something you don't have control over but your bank doesn't see it that way.

The money the bank loaned to you is equally borrowed by the bank. So if your repayment date is on 30th and your salary was paid on 6th of the next month, then the bank will charge a certain % on the six days that was defaulted.

If the irregularity in salary payment continues and you keep defaulting on the agreed due date though not your fault, it will affect your chances of loan eligibility in the future.

This is one of the problems caused by IPPIS. As it stands now, one can't easily borrowed money from a bank because of NOT SO SURE THE DATE SALARY WILL BE DROPPING. And no bank or lending institutions will give out loan based on UNCERTAINTIES IN SALARY PAYMENT.

It's a big challenge.

Our union leaders conived with IPPIS to step up check off dues from 1%to 2% and effect the change in the union Constitution through the back door by extending their tenure from 2years to 4years just like the politician. The change in Constitution did not receive the blessings of the chapters but NOW a law binding on us all. That's why our union leaders are silent. Let's not be decided, the deductions will continue unabated. Untill we all wake up. The monster called IPPIS will continue to terrorised us. The fraud is now centralised with just very few cornering a large chunk of our hard earned salaries. God have mercy on Nigerian workers while we pray for ASUU which seems to be the ONLY AND LAST standing union in Nigeria today to be victorious against monterous IPPIS and sychopants. Amen

The curriculum need to be changed. Most universities curriculum are outdated and needs reviewing. The so called people in government today are those people you lecturers failed and gave them bad grades. They won’t appreciate you because you did not take care of them and gave them 2.2 or 3rd class.


Today they are at the helm of affairs and they are paying back. Everybody is at fault. Let’s pray your salary is paid.

When the funding of education budget is low in Nigeria, this will be the outcome ....

Interview: ASUU national president Ogunyemi breaks silence on IPPIS, reveals FG's motive

It is a wrong perception to label the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) a "nuisance" because of its agitations for an improved university system over the years.
If you look carefully, you will find that our engagements with Nigerian governments (state and federal) since 1982 have always focused on four key elements: funding for qualitative university education, improved conditions of service for scholars in order to arrest "brain drain" academic freedom and university autonomy, and other matters relating to the efficient functioning of public universities such as laws and policies that hamstring the system.

Cumulatively, ASUU has had six series of negotiations with successive governments in Nigeria and reached five collective bargaining agreements based on those four key elements earlier enumerated.
These agreements were painstakingly undertaken between ASUU teams and government teams (with participants drawn from relevant FG's MDAs and representatives of owners of State Universities).
In sorting out the fundamentals, the negotiated agreements could take as long as three years (for example, 2009) to achieve. I've provided this background in order to establish the basis for ASUU's engagements and reported frequent disagreements with the government.
First, the four elements that constitute the pivot of our engagement with the government are critical to salvaging Nigeria's public universities and making them reclaim their leadership position in Africa. ASUU sees its advocacy in this respect as a historical responsibility it must discharge to prevent our tertiary education subsystem going the moribund way of public primary and secondary subsystems.
Second, governments after governments in Nigeria hardly respected the terms our negotiated or renegotiated agreements, just the way Nigerian politicians are reputed for not fulfilling electoral promises. At best, governments implemented the salary component of the "conditions of service" and expected ASUU to keep quiet.
But ASUU knows that to do so, is to betray our historical mission. Our goal is to champion the cause of revamping the Nigerian university system and reposition it as the hub for the transformation of Nigeria.
In third place, there is always a clause that allows the government to call for dialogue on any aspect of an Agreement it finds difficult to implement for one reason or the other. That explains why we talk of memoranda of understanding or memoranda of action. These are products of further engagements in-between FGN-ASUU agreements.
Unfortunately, however, these variants of negotiated agreements are also jettisoned no sooner than they are signed. Under such a situation, no trade union that knows its onions will fold its arms and watch helplessly.
And this explains why ASUU will always protest the antics of government. So, taken together, anybody who takes enough time to know the purpose of ASUU's agitations and engagements with governments cannot objectively describe ASUU as a "nuisance".
But for ASUU's agitations, tertiary education in Nigeria would have collapsed irretrievably. Concrete evidence of this is TETFund which was a product of the FGN-ASUU Agreement of 1992.
TETFund has almost become the sole funding agency for capital projects in Nigerian universities in the last 20 years or so. In fact, almost all new universities established by the Federal Government since the Goodluck Jonathan administration drew their take-off grants from TETFund.
A major threat to the existence of TETFund which ASUU has been contending within the last decade is the powerful lobby by owners of private universities to draw grants from the intervention agency for their "private investments."
We think students, parents, civil society organisations and other stakeholders should join forces with ASUU in this struggle against businessmen and women hijacking TETFUND as well as in our overarching engagements to restore the lost glory of our public university system instead of condemning

PIS by
AAA593 : 9:47pm On Apr 30
Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has withdrawn its initial support for the implementation of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
With this development, it joined the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which had all along rejected the implementation of the government payroll platform, for its members across the Nigerian universities.
The non-academic workers’ union, which had initially supported the initiative, said its trust in the system was betrayed by the Federal Government “as reflected in the various irregularities noticed in the payment of February salaries of its members.”
In a statement by the union’s spokesperson, Abdulsobur Salaam, SSANU noted that all peculiarities it identified before the implementation, and which the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation as well as other implementing partners agreed to incorporate, were disregarded in the implementation.
The statement reads in part; “Kindly recall that we keyed into the IPPIS with an understanding that all the peculiarities in the university system, particularly pertaining to our members would be adequately addressed, especially the issues of allowances, appointments, increments, third party deductions among others. Various concerns were raised and our fears were allayed through various correspondences, meetings and practical sessions where the application was displayed and all issues brought forward were addressed. It was only after exhausting all the queries and getting satisfactory answers that our union, SSANU and its joint action committee counterpart, Non Academic Staff Union (NASU) decided to key into the platform in the overall interest of the system and our members.
“It is therefore shocking to us that our first real taste of the IPPIS application is totally different from what was presented. All the concerns raised by our unions were not implemented and disregarded. Apart from the breach of trust, which has now manifested, our members across the universities are groaning from various anomalies witnessed in their salaries thereby forcing them into great hardships, which they never bargained for when they keyed into the IPPIS.
“As a leadership, this is totally unacceptable! The recent development has once again shown, despite our attempts to test otherwise, that government can never be trusted and as such, based on what we have been subjected to with the February salary, we do not blame our lecturer counterparts, ASUU, for resisting the IPPIS from the beginning.”
The union subsequently urged the government to stop using the new platform to pay its members, and demanded a reversal to the old platform of the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS).

my brother u r right

When they were collecting money from APC during the last general election and were declaring their candidates winners, they did not know that what goes around come around.

Why do lecturwres and academicians like to compare themselves to political leaders? If doctors, engineers and every other set of people do that, how will the society ever move ahead?

It's a shame that Tertiary Institutions don't matter in this country.

ok

You are talking , what about the lecturer cum Professor who collects salaries without Teaching students. Or the lecturer who does not know his onions yet collects wages.

Bros we all in this mess together.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
This is to inform all members of our Telegram group that there will be an interactive session with two of our group members who are well informed on NHF matters.

Date :Saturday 9th May, 2020
Time: 8pm



During the interactive session, we will take 15 to 20 random questions from members while our guests will take their time to answer them. They will answer questions like:

1. NHF in a nutshell
2. Funding
3. Benefits
4. Eligibility
5. Registration Procedures and lots more.

Dear Cdes,

With all the irregularities in salaries nd several complaints on IPPIS i have read so far. Its very clear that IPPIS is a big scam. Permit me to term it, Scam of the Century. We must all join hands to defeat this demon or else it will crumble us bit by bit. Although, i am aware that their paid agent wil come online to console you "oh IPPIS is the best,oh! these irregularities were faced by MDAs that enrolled on IPPIS earlier, oh! IPPIS wil be good someday etc". Lies of the Century i will term all these statements. How on earth can a perfect system/software  pay A, omit B, overpay C, underpay D, etc. IPPIS often put smiles on very few and high blood pressure on many others. Infact, IPPIS is enough to kill. It is because we are Nigerians, a happy nation, we find humor in the good and the bad, the reason many are still alive despite this Covid-19 Salary Package. On my Suprise of the Century, the rate at which FG rush to the media to announce that they have been able to save billions through IPPIS, they would have published the names of ghost workers recorded so far I will suggest.
These are my recommendations;
1. FG should revert to GIFMIS, since IPPIS has proven to be ineffective.
2. UTAS as suggested by ASUU should be considered and implemented.

Others include:
3. IPPIS could be decentralized, with IPPIS staff on each of our tertiary institutions. It seems IPPIS could not handle the large number of Federal Tertiary Institution staff members.
4. All deductions should be revisited and re-negotiated, most especially, union due, tax and NHS deductions. About 99% of staff members are not in full support of NHS, why will Government enforce the scheme on all? And can the Nigerian Govt i know build a house for all her workers? NHS should be voluntary .

Meanwhile, Let us all set our differences aside, all unions must come together, be it NASU, SSANU, NAAT, JAC and say #NoToIPPIS.

10 things about Nigerian university lecturers

1. The last time university system salary scale was reviewed was in 2009. Yes! 11years ago.

2. ASUU had to go on strike for the review to be implemented in 2011.

3.Among the lecturers of higher institutions ( universities, polytechnics, college of educations) university lecturers are paid the least.

4. No university professor is currently getting up to 500k per month!

5. In some gov't agencies,(Nigerian Port Authority NPA, for example) A Driver's salary is more than that of a lecturer one(PhD+3years post-qualification experience) in university.

6. In agencies like PPPRA, a fresh graduate is paid the salary of Associate professor! Beside other millions of Naira as start-up allowances.

7. The above are revenue agencies (and not paid from CRF)? Ok! Yes. But why are holders of Diploma in community Health (CHEW) and medical laboratory technicians (another Diploma) with just five years experience and rural posting are paid higher than Assistant lecturers (M.SC holder) in universities?

8. Even in the university system, technologist (NAAT guys) are paid thirty thousand naira (30,000naira) as allowance, while lecturers are paid three hundred Naira(300naira). So, they earn better than their ASUU colleagues.

9. Other Non-Academic staffs are paid overtime allowance from 5k to 40k monthly. So, they earn better than ASUU Comrades.

10.ASUU Comrades are not paid overtime allowance at all .

If you must accuse ASUU, accuse them of neglecting themselves for the system to survive.
