The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU has rejected a move by the Federal Government to incorporate varsity lecturers’ wage into the Integrated Personnel Payroll System.
The ASUU President Biodun Ogunyemi, in a letter to the chapter Chairmen of the union, in Ibadan directed members not to fill the said 2019 personnel verification form.
It was gathered that the 2019 Personnel Data Verification Form was being distributed by the Budget Office of the Federation and described the development as dubious.
According to Ogunyemi, while the union is not against any verification, the form for the exercise being distributed requires the supply of “IPPIS number” implying a dubious trap to forcefully migrate the union members into the IPPIS.
He stated that the attention of the leadership of ASUU has been drawn to a circular from the Budget Office of the Federation directing members of our union to participate in a Personnel Verification Exercise designed for selected Ministries, Departments and Agencies. An item on the Form requires the supply of IPPIS No.
