It is a very good roll call. Our Supreme Court must be secured from predators like Nyesom Wike.

Besides ASUU, many Agencies of the federal government rejected IPPIS as a mode of Salary payment. The likes of NNPC, CBN, DPR, PPRA, PEF, PTI, NNRA, Nigeria Army,INEC etc.

They insisted that they have laudable and robust payroll system and that their peculiar Salary parameters would not fit into the proposed IPPIS. Today these agencies are comfortably left out of IPPIS trap.
