ASUU faction orders lecturers to immediately enroll for IPPIS

A new break-out faction of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has ordered lecturers under its wing to comply with the Federal Government’s directive by enrolling on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS)

The order issued by the National Steering Committee of the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) on Saturday to lecturers to enroll on IPPIS, against the stand of Academic Staff Union of Universities, was reached at a meeting of CONUA National Steering Committee.

CONUA in a statement by its National Coordinator, Dr Niyi Sunmonu and the National Publicity Coordinator, Dr Ernest Nwoke, said that it agreed for its members to enroll on the platform with faith that the Federal Government would fulfil its promise of prompt action on any issue that arose in the implementation of the policy.

The statement by the ASUU faction reads thus in part; “That CONUA members are in full support of every policy and effort of government to reform the Nigerian public financial system with a view to combating corruption and thereby sanitising our educational system.

“That the IPPIS being one of such efforts is welcome by CONUA in the light of government’s assurance on accommodating the peculiarities of the academia.

“That CONUA notes the Federal Government’s promise to address any other issues that may arise, through the desk offices to be placed in the bursary unit of each university.

“That, in view of the foregoing, CONUA implores members to enroll on the IPPIS platform with a strong belief that government would reciprocate our good faith.”
