Varsities: ASUU Urges Boycott Of IPPIS, Enrollment Begins Today
The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU has directed its members nationwide to ignore a circular from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation to enroll academic staff on the Integrated Payment and Personnel Information System, IPPIS from today.
ASUU said that the Accountant General of the Federation had asked the union to develop a template that accommodates the peculiarities of academic staff and present same to him.
It noted that the Federal Government needs to test its own model of ensuring financial transparency rather than forcing its members captured on the IPPIS which opened today.
The ASUU National President Biodun Ogunyemi stated that enrollment of lecturers was like taking universities back to the core civil service. He insisted that its members will not take part in the registration for the IPPIS, adding that such step by the Federal Government would undermine the autonomy of Nigerian universities.
