Why We Haven’t Called Off Strike –ASUU by Inda2020: 4:53am On Oct 27, 2020 |
THE Academic Staff Union of Universities has
said it has yet to call off its ongoing strike
because it is waiting for the government to
conduct an integrity test on the University
Transparency and Accountability Solution.
The UTAS is the payment platform created by
ASUU in place of government ’ s Integrated
Payroll and Personnel Information System .
ASSU President , Prof . Biodun Ogunyemi in an
interview with The PUNCH said the government
needed to give the clearance to National
Information Technology Development Agency to
conduct integrity test on UTAS .
“ The integrity test will be handled by NITDA, it
is government that will facilitate it because
NITDA is a government , agency and unless you
get clearance from the government that test
cannot be conducted . ”
While speaking on whether the government
had accepted UTAS , Ogunyemi said , “ We are
still talking , we have given them the position of
our members , we are thinking we should be
able to hold a meeting this week if they have
not changed plans . The meeting for Monday
was postponed . In principal , they have
accepted UTAS and told us to go for the test,
and on our part , we have started the process .
We had presented UTAS at three levels, starting
with the Ministry of Education , Senate
President and members of his team , officials of
Ministry of Finance and Office of the
Accountant General of the Federation , where
all other stakeholders were present , including
NITDA, all stakeholders have witnessed the
presentation and the next stage of integrity test
is what we are moving in to . If government
facilitates it , it is not something that should
drag for too long at all . We don ’ t foresee any
problem with UTAS ; it also depends on how
early the government makes it possible for the
integrity test to be conducted . ”
Ogunyemi also explained that ASUU was ready
to resume academic activities if the government
was ready to play its part .
“ Our members are ready to resume work as
early as government is ready to play its part .
I ’ m sure you are not suggesting that our
members should resume on empty stomach or
the strike should be suspended without any
concrete action on the side of the government .
We don ’ t like to stay away from our work
because we like our students , they are also our
children.
As far as we are concerned , we don ’ t have issue
with going back to work, but we want more
sincerity on the side of government .
“ We have not seen enough reasons to believe
that they don ’ t mean what they are telling us
but as soon as we see any sign to that effect . we
will tell Nigerians . ”
