The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Thursday said the Federal Government could not threaten its members with salary stoppage in order to force them to enrol for the Integrated Personnel Payroll and Information System .
The union also alleged that some vice - chancellors were forcing lecturers to register for the IPPIS , which it had rejected .

The Federal Government had on Wednesday said university lecturers were enrolling for the IPPIS despite the opposition of ASUU.

The Coordinator of the IPPIS in the Office of Acccount General of the Federation , Mr Olusegun Olufehinti , said , “ The salary is personal and if that is the case, then we expect everyone that wants to be paid to enroll because that will be the only basis you can get your salary. ”

But in an interview with The PUNCH on Thursday, the ASUU National President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi , accused some vice - chancellors of meddling in its struggle against the IPPIS . He said overzealous VCs were “ forcing lecturers to be captured on the platform. ”

He said , “ On the issue of non - payment of salaries , when we get to that bridge, we will cross it. The issue of salaries or no salaries is not new to us in this struggle . We have been threatened a number of times on non - payment of salaries. So if anybody wants to frighten ASUU, it is not with salaries . So we have gone beyond that . We believe that our principles and focus are more important than all these threats .”

ASUU added that its team would soon complete work on an alternative platform which the Senate was expecting the union to come and demonstrate before it.
He said , by the time the union put forward its model, the fears of the government would be allayed and the university system preserved .

Ogunyemi had on Sunday said the Federal Government needed to test its ( the union ’s ) model of ensuring financial transparency rather than forcing its members to register for the IPPIS , which started on Monday and would end on December 7 .
The ASUU president said , “ On the IPPIS , our members are complying with our directive , except for few places where some vice - chancellors forcefully imposed the IPPIS on them, blackmailing and even causing division among our ranks . We have some of those universities where they are trying to impose the IPPIS on them. The VCs caused divisions and ill -feelings among our members. We think this matter does not concern them because if they actually understand the argument, they will know we are actually fighting for the interests of the system and not for ourselves .
IPPIS begins at Unical

In the University of Calabar , officials of the Accountant General of the Federation have started registering workers for the IPPIS .

One of our correspondents gathered that 11 officials arrived late on Tuesday and on Wednesday they were seen setting up their facilities in a lecture hall behind the Graduate School to begin the exercise .

Non- academic staff of the university were seen filling forms while a handful of security personnel of the university were at the venue .

The first group of staff that was being attended to were from the Department of Agriculture, to be followed alphabetically by workers in other departments.
The leader of the team , Tobi Orungbemi , said , “ The date given to us to conduct the exercise is 25th November to 7 th of December . The response has been good . You know this is the first day . We have to get the venue ready, set up our system . There is no resistance from anyone. ”


Reps intervene in FG , ASUU crisis
But the House of Representatives on Thursday resolved to intervene in the crisis between the Federal Government and ASUU over the IPPIS .
The House decided to investigate the crisis following the unanimous adoption of a motion by Tajudeen Abass , who called for the intervention of the parliament in the crisis.

Why are they afraid of join ippis?

Dont forget you are dealing with a president who said "BSC is not a meal ticket"...

He only needs to pledge National minimum wage increment only affects registered members and that solves that..

But doesn't the one who pays the piper dictate the tune?

I know it can never be a good news
ASUU is involved...
No govt policy has favoured them in their life

Why is ASUU against the ipps

Some ASUU members are thieves
Some are rogues
We want progress in this country, but don't want transparency and accountability
Why are you happy on collecting two or three salaries at a time?
Why are you bent on taking the space that are supposed to be occupied by others?

I don’t understand a thing here

Corruption fighting back

Why is ASUU against the ipps

Because it will put an end to a lecturer receiving multiple salary from different fed govt Universities. Dr Ogumola Uche Musa is a lecturer in ABU he receives his monthly salary as a staff member of ABU, he goes to Unizik as a visiting lecturer earns another salary comes to UNAAB as a consultant, and earns another salary all at the detriment of his students waiting for him at ABU to receive lecture as he only comes to lecture 3/6 days before the exam

You will get sense when u get to the bridge. Awon ole! I hope FG free all of u to go & work at 'ASUU' University so that you can have 200% autonomy! I wonder how the 'Unis' are receiving fund and still claiming autonomy!

ASUU are just criminals.

They are just scared, that the way I see it. If you have no skeletons in your cupboard, we are you guys not complying

Why scared if you have nothing to hide?
Una go dey lecture for 10 places and hinder younger lecturers from getting jobs

you are corrupt

That one concern unah!

Make una no just go strike that's all I want.

all they do is running part time programs with government facilities / university facilities , they will say no facility to run a program on full time basis but they are running over 20 courses under the table as part time , some schools part-time students are more than regular full time students with fund generated from part time programs been shared between the lecturers and leaving part-time students with stigma of studying via part-time program and not qualifying for NYSC.

Hunger never catch una

The moment ASUU lecturers noticed the coming of IPPIS.....See race!!!

Ha a aha...... ASUU to FG
Any hidden agenda?

That porn guy has gone berserk on pornography

I support ASUU on this. The independence of the Universities should be respected. FG should also try the platform presented by ASUU, FG must not always resort to threat and force.

Are the senators and House of reps members on IPPIS? Are the ministers, special and personal advisers on IPPIS? Is the president and his vice on IPPIS?.

The politicians shout transparency only to cheat and deceive the poor masses, while the poor masses are not in the know of the amount of money these politicians swallow.
