please tell ippis that we are only obeying government order is not as though we are on strike please they should pay us

Relax, we will be paid. FG cannot be that insensitive not to pay salaries for March. Other countries are giving stipends to their citizens to stay at home, FG cannot possibly allow the workforce to die of hunger!

After announcing the closure of the university which was expected to commence on 23rd March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities of University of Nigeria Nsukka has asked Staff to report to work while the university remained 'closed'.

According to an email sent to staff of UNN by the PRO of the university, staff were advised to observe social distancing while working.

My arreas is still 18,518.22 per month, which is what am expecting, when arreas is paid. I have paid all those deduction for all those 11 months, on normal previous rate except NHF which is new, so I expect 18,518.22 X 11 months as my arreas. but going forward I know my salary is 117,000+ monthly.

Thank you bro for posting these proofs. You're really an academic!

Now we all can see that NMW was paid!!!

LudaChriz:
Did u take ur time to check those documents very well?
From ur pay slip ur gross is 143k plus; while on the document showing the new minimum wage ur gross should be 161k plus.

Or aren't you on GL 02 step 4?

Minimum wage has NOT been paid!

Even after the guy has taken time to explain the whole thing with proofs, doing calculations where necessary, you're still arguing blindly?

If you don't understand mathematics, ask him nicely. Maybe he will find time to help

I have over 200 PMs I don't know the one I would reply.

Use your head. It's your time to get 200 PMs. Use it well. It's not gonna be like that forever. Don't get carried away.

Take it from a guy that doesn't want you

Reichel99:
The guy still wasted his own resources, he should calculate all the expenses he made for the wedding and the relationship.

The bride will still get a new man, the man may even be in the wedding location.

Don't be too sure about the bolded. Those things you watch on Bollywood ain't real. Stigma is real

efewizey:
You welcome. Can we chat?

It will end in tears.

I'm the man that saw the future

The guy that drew dog try pass the op

Mrgreatness:
do you work in the laboratory

I'm a technical staff. Technical staff/technologists are entitled to hazard allowance

jeraw:
CONTISS 8/3 (A FEDERAL UNIVERSITY IN THE SOUTH SOTUH)

CONSOLIDATED + MINIMUM WAGE 130,061.25
PECULIAR ALLOWANCE 6,503.06
GROSS SALARY 136,564.31

NATIONAL HOUSING FUND 3,251.53
PENSION 9,754.59
UNION DUES 2,601.25
TAX 8,936.80
TOTAL DEDUCTIONS 24,544.15

NET SALARY 112,020.16

So, Hazard allowance was not paid

Guzel:
You can still make your point without using words like “envy” “beef” etc. let’s not argue on this. By now, you should have known that govt don’t accord same attention to ASUU and Nasu. Our leadership is optimistic, so we should be because ASUU Dey follow who sabi road.

Now I understand why the other guy was vile in his response to you. Your ego needs trimming down

mistermanpikin:
Hating kwa, I don't have his time, if not for his previous posts and his myopic insinuation àbout other unions.

This is not the way to go bro. If the guy said something that you felt uncomfortable with, address it and don't sound like there's something else between you two

aribitoye:
Guy, stop hating on him. Is it a crime to be an ASUU member? I'm also an ASUU member, but I have never hated or envied the non teaching staff. If ASUU and all other trade unions in the universities have all come forward with one voice from the onset, there wouldn't be need for this division and hatred.

I agree with you totally. The 'cold war' between ASUU and non academic unions are totally uncalled for.

Guzel:
FG asked ASUU for concrete timeline. ASUU proposed 18 months. The 18 months was proposed by ASUU and not FG.
EAA is coming. Even if I have not been paid, I’m happy with the progress made so far.

My dear brother, I'm not beefing you. I don't beef people I don't know

I'm just saying that FG cannot be trusted. Take everything they said with the pinchest of salts. If it eventually happens, you thank God. If not, you move on without being heartbroken. If I tell how non teaching associations were promised heaven and earth about IPPIS eh, las las how market.

Just don't put your mind and hope in those agreements. For your Sanity's sake

Guzel:
Today, I attended ASUU Congress in my university. Our leaders briefed us on the outcome of the meeting with Govt.
1) Government have agreed to accept UTAS in principle. ASUU was given 18 months to properly code the UTAS for proper utilization. In the meantime ASUU members will be paid from the old system with new minimum wage.
2) Earned academic allowances will be paid soon. Lecturers were told to compute EAA for 2018 and 2019 which will feature in the 2021 budget and streamlined into monthly salaries
3 ) we were told that technologists have lost their 30k hazard allawee. Our vice chancellor and principal officers lost 50 percent of their pay after they enrolled.

Easier said than done. FG asked ASUU to use a whole 18 months to code UTAS very well and you're rejoicing?

Use your brain brother. Has FG ever honoured any agreement before? Giving ASUU 18 months to code UTAS should have given you enough red flags about FG's true intentions already. FG just want ASUU off her neck for now. When ASUU realizes it and goes on another strike in, let's say 1 year's time, FG will call for another meeting and reach another agreement with them. By that time, Buhari's tenure will elapsed and a new government will start deliberations afresh .

Wait for your EAA first. That's the first thing that will convince you that FG has and will never be sincere.

I'm not in support of IPPIS either. At least, not anymore

LudaChriz:
Minimum wage has not been added. The increment u saw is what UNN has been deducting from ur salary

That can't be true!

Nnaa eh, which one are we to believe. Minimum wage was paid, minimum wage was not paid. Hian


Lemme collect my payslip tomorrow and see what they actually paid

eagleeye2:
At bolded, lol... Some of us are a product of grace of God... Meaning we no get direct link to the Oga at the top, but God used people wey get the direct link.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

Brother Jekwu, we must no know the ogas at the top but you must know who know the ogas or have your money. No dey bobo jare

Then tell people wey God use for you say IPPIS wahala dey bobo you

eagleeye2:
Please can you take one through the steps needed to enroll on IPPIS platform. By this I mean what will be required for one to take with him or her while going to Abuja…. The IPPIS office in Abuja (address).... And estimated number of days one may spend...
I may be asking a lot of questions, but I believe so many other new people are asking the same questions...
Modified:
Will the person need to inform the authorities (Bursary) before embarking on such journey?

Yes, inform your superiors before embarking on the journey. One of my colleague that was employed in January went there and he was paid this February salary. He spent around 1week but I didn't ask him how much he spent there. Just go prepared financially.

Of course, you should go with all the originals of your documents including appointment letter, assumption of duty, bank statement for your salary account, etc. I believe that the affected person has done all necessary documentation with your school before talking about IPPIS enrollment. Take all your documents with you. It's better to go with all and they don't need some, than go with some and you end up not coming with the ones they need.

Most importantly, inform the person that gave you work. I believe that nobody joins a federal institution without knowing somebody!


Address. IPPIS Secretariat. Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation Treasury House Ladoke Akintola Boulevard, Garki 11, Abuja, Nigeria

dollext:
I worked in a bursary section of a university. No information abt arrears, am sure it will be paid directly as well

OK. Thanks. So, payslips will be ready for collection by Wednesday right?

dollext:
Payroll has been sent to individual institutions for onward preparation of payslips. I can authoritatively tell u that New Minimum wage was paid base on what we captured with during the IPPIS Reg. I noticed the basic and peculiar including the house allowance were all consolidated together and the 7.5% for both Tax and pension was derived from it. Unlike the usual way of taxing only basic. Moreso, NHF and Union level was also deducted.

You seem like a man that has firsthand information about IPPIS stuff and I actually like that kind of men.

What's the latest on minimum wage arrears? Any hope of it being paid soon?

@Samakus,
What will happen to people who have not been enrolled in the IPPIS platform? I am referring to the newly recruited staffs.

They should go to Abuja IPPIS Office and enrol asap. If not, na OYO

*SSANU makes U-turn, joins ASUU to reject IPPIS*

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has withdrawn its support for the implementation of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), a government payment platform, for its members across the Nigerian universities.

The 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 issued on Monday and signed by the union’s spokesman, Abdulsobur Salaam, SSANU noted that all peculiarities it identified before the implementation, and which the office of the accountant general of the federation and 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 etc. 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 JAC counterpart 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 has, therefore, requested the government to stop using the new platform to pay its members, and that reversal to the old platform of the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), would be appreciated.


The union also warned against the deployment for, its members, a new model – University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) proposed by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to be integrated into the IPPIS.

“…While we place on record, the right of ASUU to reach an understanding with Government on this hybrid payment platform, we note that this can only be implemented for ASUU members as at today and if it is to be implemented across board, it must be with the consent of the other university based unions.

“Having keyed into the IPPIS project and gotten an unsavory first taste, we shall not accept any other payment platform which does not carry us along. If UTAS is a general University payment platform, we must be guaranteed that its features accommodate the peculiar needs and challenges of the non-teaching staff in the system. If this is not guaranteed, the hybrid application shall be rejected in totality by our members,” the statement added.

*Like SSANU like COEASU*

Earlier, the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) had condemned the irregularities observed in the February salaries of its members paid by the government, saying the deployment of the IPPIS disregarded its members’ peculiar allowances, and particularly the Peculiar Earned Academic Allowance (PEAA).

A statement signed by the union’s president, Nuhu Ogirima, said “For the avoidance of doubt, the February salary paid by the federal government did not include the peculiar allowances of the staff of the subsector, especially the Peculiar Earned Academic Allowance (PEAA).

“Also not paid are staff on sabbatical leave. In addition, deductions were effected on all staff salaries indiscriminately for the national housing fund (NHF), a voluntary scheme to which most staff did not subscribe.”

The union described the development as “a serious breach of trust and, therefore, considered the FGN betrayal not acceptable.”

COEASU has, therefore, advised the government to urgently address the challenge, warning that failure to do so could lead to disruption of academic activities across the colleges of education nationwide.

*ASUU strike*

ASUU had, last week, embarked on a two-week warning strike over similar issue. The development, which had disrupted academic activities across many campuses nationwide, had also forced many students back home.

However, the government met with the leadership of the striking union with a promise to look into its demands, especially the integration of its proposed salary payment model to the existing IPPIS.

Indications have, however, shown that failure to abide by the contents of the agreements reached with the union may lead to another round of industrial action that shut down the university system for longer time.

*We’re unaware of SSANU, COEASU complaints –OAGF*

Meanwhile the spokesperson for the Office of the Accountant General for the Federation, Henshaw Ogubike, said his office was unaware of the unions’ complaints.

Mr. Ogubike, therefore, requested that our reporter sent him the statements issued by the workers’ unions for onward transfer to the director in charge of the IPPIS.

“Most times these unions just issue statements without writing us. As I am talking to you, I am not aware of this matter but as soon as you forward to me, the director will brief us for proper response,” Mr. Ogubike said.

However, as at the time of filing this report, he was yet to give the position of the office on the matter.

adewale4jesus:
It's true minimum wage was included minus tax , pension and Union dues

Pension and tax was deducted. That's the only two things deducted

Smokey5:
Pls what's the name of ur institution ....cos I think ur being misinformed about d minimum wage arrears payment

Was this question for me?

If it was, let me clear the air. I never talked about minimum wage arrears. I only told who cared to listen that I got valid information that the salary we just received included minimum wage. I don't know when the arrears will be paid. But you said this week, so I asked how authentic is your information

Mrgreatness:
Akuko
he don't know what he is saying bro

You know more than someone that was, before this month, paying me salary on GIFMIS?
