The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU threatens another round of strike over the enrollment in the Integrated Payment Personnel Information System, IPPIS.
This is coming as the Federal Government is set to stoppayment to universities’ lecturers who declined to enroll in the paymentsystem. It also accused many of them of collecting multiple salaries.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, BossMustapha receiving the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland RevenueService, FIRS, Mohammed Nami said some members of the Academic Staff Union ofUniversities, ASUU, are collecting three to four salaries per month.
But in his reaction, ASUU President, Biodun Ogunyemi,described the statement as an exaggeration and a mis-representation of facts,adding that the union would respond appropriately if the Federal Governmentstop the salaries of its members.
Ogunyemi alleged that the government had taken a loan ofone-hundred-and-forty million dollars for the implementation of the IPPIS,hence the reason why it is bent on enrolling lecturers on the platform.
