What’s so special about ASUU or university lecturers generally?
Is it not to work and be paid your salary??

Honestly , I believe [s]civil servants contributed to the decay in this country more than politicians.[/s] They’re willing to frustrate any plans to make them accountable.

TopeQs:


I so agree with you.

yes, they are not doing anything illegal, doesn't mean, they are not doing it wrong though.

jesmond3945:
you forget that when a lecturer has part time jobs it has to do with expertise. How many people can do the work of publish or perish? Lecturers are not being employed in the system and everyday we hear of new departments and you expect one lecturer to be teaching in more than one department because of lack of lecturers in a particular area of expertise. When you are in the system you would understand. You expect UI to pick a market woman to come and teach Computer vision when they can pick one full time lecturer from futo as adjunct. It is only in Nigeria that students are fed knowledge like babies that's why you cannot innovate anything. All over the world students teach themselves. The lecturer is just a guide.

sinkhole:
yes, some lecturers are doing it very wrong!
Some lecturers constantly travel between several states just to visit.
Let us even leave the qualities of their output, let us consider their own personal issues: at this period in Nigeria, they could be kidnapped, roads are not good they could have accident, what of fatigue to their own body? Many of them die prematurely because of overstretching their bodies!

TopeQs:
wow....

just forget, even "senior" staffs don't know how not to show their selfish interest. IPPIS is just a way to curb staffs from collecting salary from more than one avenue, I don't know much about the senior staff but let me talk about the academic staff.

Let me paint a scenario for you, most federal Universities has a part time lecturer that has a full time job in another university, this is not bad but look at the case of some lecturers that go for part time lectures in as much as 3-4 other institutions, this way they are even making 3-4 people jobless because that could have been a job for fresh graduates.

I believe the IPPIS is meant to cover just one more visiting apart from your salary, ASUU will never tell you this but I will, those lecturers that have 2-3 part-time lecturing job will not want IPPIS because it will block the salary of the part-time job.
I can tell you that I know of a lecturer that has 4 part time lecturing job in another federal university, please, how will such a person have time for his own full time job, he will be joggling within states just to meet the other while not being able to put a focus on any of them, I was taught by one of them and he never had our time, then we run marathon class so as to cover up for his absenteeism.

ASUU are just motivated by selfish interest, they will never tell you this, this is not the first time that the government is changing their payment system, and it's not like their salary will be reduced, it is just those with too much of an extra work that will be affect.

the IPPIS was introduced to create transparency, yes, there are irregularities but that can definitely be sorted with time.

it is only the government that can be castigated by changing the way they want to pay their staff, could that happen to a private firm?

ponder on this.

TopeQs:



I like how you explained your view, you prolly read a wrong meaning to what I meant, I'm not saying they should pick up someone from market na, common, we have people without jobs who are vast in a lot of things... educated people.

even those interested in lecturing.

but the government rarely recruit new lecturers, you won't even see the advert, you'll just hear of an opening and before you get to know more, the slot has been filled.

modified again: to some of the people quoting me, if you can't quote without starting your sentence or including an insult, then you should be so ashamed of yourself.

I'm not supporting any manipulation, I'm just saying that some workers bite more than they can chew and that's why some don't want the IPPIS, I'm not saying all, I've spoken with a lot of lecturers about the IPPIS and most of them give me this same reason as why most of them wouldn't join the IPPIS.

I know of those who joined since and have gotten their salary, no reduction that they are shouting about.

justt:


If only you can be a bit more objective in your appraisal of the situation on ground! Firstly, the issue is about SSANU not ASUU and so the question you should ask yourself is: are SSANU members also working in multiple places like academic staff?

If SSANU is regretting its action now, shouldn't that be reason for any reasonable individual to reconsider this IPPIS issue? No, you will not do that. Apparently, you have been looking for an opportunity to rubbish ASUU just like others who are perpetually blinded to the truth!

I can't even sympathize with SSANU because their lack of cooperation with the academic staff brought them to this situation. The point is there is actually no hope for any country that rubbishes its intellectuals.

Now, let's look at your ridiculous claims of knowing of an academic staff working in up to 4 universities. Yes, let's work with your maximum of 4 and let's assume the worst scenario that this staff is a professor (because professor earns the highest salary). Let's also assume his salary is N500K. Mind you, most professors who earn up to this are already old and can barely run around as you claim.

With these four universities, this means your hypothetical and omnipresent lecturer is earning 2 million naira monthly. Actually, the man is earning 1.5M extra since he's entitled to one salary, at least.

Now, what you fail to realize is that almost 70% or more universities where lecturers do part-time jobs are either private or state universities and IPPIS cannot prevent that! I hope the picture is getting very clear to you? You seriously betrayed yourself by claiming your lecturer is working in four different federal universities! That claim is untrue and nothing but just the figment of your own biased imagination to mislead the ignorants like yourself.

This is what you and other members of the populace have not been told. IPPIS cannot and will not stop payment from state and private universities! So, what's the fuss all about? What's the total number of lecturers having multiple salaries from the the almighty FG?

Let's wake up and be realistic! The fight of ASUU is not just for her purse. The FG is not sincere and cannot be trusted. Thank God SSANU is getting to know that albeit somehow late. Once, the FG succeeds in subduing ASUU (God forbids), I'm afraid, the dying federal universities will be finally buried.

jesmond3945:

You don't pick people because they are educated, you pick people because of expertise and training(PhD). How many Nigerians have a PhD or are willing to have?
How many Nigerians have publications or conference presentations in International events?
If you are interested in lecturing then have publications, have a master's degree even complete a PhD, teach for some time then you would be qualified to be a visiting lecturer. A University cannot pick you because you are interested in lecturing.
They do advertise, check guardian newspaper but the requirements are lofty.

gbengadada2004:

Why can't you just take your time to understand the content of the post before typing? The article is about SSANU and not ASUU. The two are not the same. SSANU has keyed in to IPPIS and they are now regretting doing so. This is unlike ASUU that is kicking against it. SSANU members are non-academic staffs in Nigerian universities. They don't do part time job elsewhere. They are not lecturers what made up ASUU. The fact that non-academic staffs who have registered for IPPIS are now regretting their action should tell every right thinking person that ASUU has a good reason for being sceptical about it.

yes, I know a lecturer doing the part-time thing.in 4 different university, no imagination whatsoever, it's true.

yinchar:


Give this guy a breathing space.

What he said was still relevant in this context.

However, if the IPPIS is not currently perfect, why can’t SSANU and ASUU come out with recommendations to make it better.

We can’t just throw away the baby with the bath water.

you stated really good points, I really wanted to learn with this and I did, thank you.

it isn't easy but we'll get there.

you know a lot of lecturers start with their bachelor's degree, can you explain to me why that is, since you stated good points, it doesn't seem the government follow what you said, or am I missing something?

CalebLebsco56:
Personally most lecturers are running from this IPPIS scheme coz it will affect them....
Most of these lecturers still lecture at other universities. Blocking space for unemployed persons..are you saying the whole of Nigeria therez no one that can take their own specialization when they are not there?
Personally i support the scheme, back then during our undergraduate days, you will find out through a semester a lecturer comes to class not often..if we ask class rep he will he has travel, travel,travel....alwys not around till close to exams time the man will just come nd be doing Crash programme...rush rush rush..without any proper research

Ericraymond01:




ASSU are just for their selfish interest. Trying to dictate for your employer. The should wake up to the reality that the federal government will never go back on their decision. My brother has enrolled on IPPIS and his salary comes steady with no wahala. Over 78% and still counting have enrolled, the rest should remain there.
