The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has stated that its members won’t enrol for the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS.
This was disclosed by The ASUU National Vice- President , Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, who stated that the body would decided on an action based on decisions by the Federal Government.
On if their salaries would be stopped for non-compliance, IPPIS , Osodeke said they “ will know what to do when we get there ” .
He added, “ We have made our position known to the government and they said they would get back to us . So, we are expecting their reaction . “ Our position is that ASUU will not join the IPPIS the way it is . We have maintained that there is nowhere in the world where the salaries and wages of university workers are paid from the central.
“ Each university has a governing council and it is the council which employes all the workers , not the civil service commission . Therefore , the council must determine the mode of payment of the workers , not the Office of the Accountant General ( of the Federation ).
“ On if our salaries are stopped , when we get there , we will know what to do . ”
Speaking on the sex – for – marks controversy in some universities , the ASUU chief pointed out that such would not be tolerated and that some lecturers had been sacked and others jailed for sexual misconduct.
