A lawmaker, Emma Ugwuerua, urged Federal Government not to stop the salaries of members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU, who failed to enroll under the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System IPPIS.
Ugwuerua, representing Nsukka West in Enugu State House of Assembly, made the appeal in an interview with newsmen in Nsukka saying that the advice became necessary to avert a nationwide strike.
He urged the government to further dialogue with ASUU over the unresolved issues concerning IPPIS.
Federal government insisted ASUU members should enroll under the system to ensure deductions accruing to government were duly collected but ASUU argued that the enrollment would violate the university autonomy.
Ugwuerua appealed to the government to consider the interest of students, who would be at the receiving end, should ASUU embark on an indefinite strike.
