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

May your soul rest in perfect peace

Believe the OP @ ur peril

Where is the video if he is truthful

Covid 19 is one of wrath to the earth.
This will serve as a big lesson to Nigeria govt to take the welfare of her citizens very important instead of looting our funds to invest in foreign countries.

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

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.

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 .

We need our voice to reach the government

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Because that of march started to drop on the 6th of April?

Sense will not kill people in Nigeria

If we trend today, FG may intervene in this which may eventually call for a dialogue to resolve our various issues including the recent IPPIS irregularities.
