The Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System has been declared a failure for overpaying and underpaying those, who enrolled in the scheme.<\/p>\n
The Yola Zone of Academic Staff Union of Universities comprising five universities in Adamawa, Borno Yobe and Taraba states said the system was not working.<\/p>\n
At a press conference in Yola on Tuesday, the union announced that its members were observing the two-week warning strike action to kick against IPPIS.<\/p>\n
Coordinator of ASUU Yola zone, Prof Augustine Ndaghu, tasked the Nigerian Government to earmark 26 per cent budgetary provision for education in line with UNESCO standard.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWe reiterate that the major contentions of ASUU\u2019s rejection of the IPPIS is the inability of the IPPIS template to capture the peculiarities of the Nigerian university system.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsurpation of university autonomy as well as erosion of the previous agreements between FGN and ASUU besides the fact that IPPIS is not backed by law.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurrently, issues emanating from the payment of February 2020 salary via IPPIS had vindicated ASUU\u2019s position of total rejection of the platform which generated lots of controversies and contradictions.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor instance, the payments were replete with underpayments, overpayments, lack of third party deductions and outright commissions among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe union also calls on the FGN to welcome ASUU\u2019s ongoing innovative alternative to IPPIS called Universities Transparency and Accountability Solutions which is a robust human resources management and compensation system that is capable of addressing the peculiarities of university staff.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
