ASUU strike looms over IPPIS, withheld salaries, others

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has warned that the union will embark on another industrial action over the Federal Government’s alleged failure to honour many of the agreements it signed with the union.

Recall that ASSU on December 2020 conditionally suspended the union’s 9 months strike action it embarked on in March over the backlog of unmet agreements between its members and the Federal Government.

Dr. Ibrahim Inuwa, the ASUU Chairperson, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, stated this while speaking with select journalists at the union’s secretariat.

Inuwa explained that the very long strike, which was to drive home their demands for the continuous survival of public university system in country, was suspended in December last year after the two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the various issues providing timelines for the implementation of each of the eight items.

The Chapter leader disclosed that over seven months after the MoU was signed, only two out of the eight issues have been addressed, listed some of the issues to include Earned Academic Allowance, Funding for revitalisation of public universities, Salary shortfall, Proliferation of state universities and Visitation Panel.

Besides, Inuwa stated that, Renegotiation, Replacement of the Integrated payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) with the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) and withheld salaries and non-remittance of Check-off Dues but “only salary shortfall and visitation panels to Federal universities have been addressed.

, “Renegotiation of the 2009 agreement which would have been completed within eight weeks from the date of inauguration of the committee has up till now not been concluded, even though the Committee was inaugurated since December 2020.

“The Federal Government of Nigeria willingly agreed that the UTAS will replace the IPPIS as a payment platform in Federal Universities after it passed an integrity test. However, soon after the agreement, agents of the FGN are doing everything possible to frustrate the coming of UTAS onboard.

“Meanwhile the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation through the IPPIS office have continued to omit our members from payment of salaries while others experience serious salary amputation. We are convinced this is done in connivance with the University Administration through the distortion of our members’ personal details.

“In the meantime, IPPIS appears to be the corruption headquarters of the Federal Civil service, as exemplified by double payment of salaries to employees, payment of salaries to non-employees, over taxation, dubious amputation of salaries, etc.”

Inuwa stated that the body language of the federal government on the proliferation of State Universities shows that they are not willing to put a stop to it stressing that instead, the federal government itself has joined in the Proliferation of Universities ignoring the obvious challenges of funding.

He further stated that it is obvious to the Union that the OAGF is deliberately omitting its members from payment of Salaries and withholding check off dues as a ploy for victimization and coercion to enroll ASUU members into IPPIs.

“This plague,” he said, “has been evident across all Federal Universities in Nigeria since February, 2020. This to us is an outright act of ingratitude on the part of the Government for the sacrifices members of ASUU are making in order to establish a progressive nation. A clear case of punishing citizens for being patriotic”, Inuwa said
