ASUU strike looming

ACADEMIC Staff Union of Universities has encouraged the government to adopt the varsity-designed University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) to end the problem of error and omission in payment of lecturers salary.

The union complained that the Integrated Payroll and Personnel information System (IPPIS) introduced by the Federal Government was omitting the salaries of its members and 95 university lecturers are currently been owed 13 months salary in Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau states.

ASUU Coordinator for zones Bauchi, Gombe and Plateau states, Prof. Lawan Abubakar, disclosed this at the press conference in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU).

In his words, “The inconsistencies observed in the application of the IPPIS in the payment of salaries and remittances of third-party deductions have continued in all the federal universities. Since the introduction of IPPIS in February 2020, our members have continued to be omitted from the payment of monthly salary,”

Lawan who also added that the national leaders of ASUU have been engaging the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation to solve the problem of salary deduction and omissions, lamented the fragility of IPPIS, which he claimed had done more damage than good to lecturers, who were forced into the system.

He further urged the government to adopt the varsity-designed University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) to end the problem.
