University workers, under the aegis Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, have written the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, threatening an indefinite strike action over all

eged inconsistencies in their salaries due to the deployment of the Integrated Payment and Personnel Information System.

The SSANU National President, Samson Ugwoke, in the letter dated May 15 and obtained by our correspondent in Abuja, told Ngige that after three months of salary payment through the IPPIS, the platform failed to meet its expectations and seemed to justify “the position of a section of the university staff that had vehemently opposed the introduction to the university system in the first place.”

The letter read, “After three instalments of salary payment and going into the fourth month, we regret to inform you that the IPPIS has not met the expectations of our members. “The observed shortcomings include muddling up of salary payments which have led to underpayments in many instances and over and multiple payments in other instances, wrongful interpretation and implementation of extant document on statutory deductions, non-issuance of pay slips for three months running, non-implementation and even withdrawal of extant allowances as agreed in the FGN/SSANU 2009 agreement; non-payment of arrears of the new national minimum wage.

“We further write to inform you that failure to resolve the issues above, SSANU will not issue any further notice of a total and indefinite industrial strike action to the government after the universities reopen from the present lockdown.”All rights reserved.

Which one are they doing before? Is it AUDIO

Issorite

It is only in Nigeria that employer don't have power over employees on decision making.

God have mercy

Can the FG please sack this lectures and ask those willing to work among them to reapply and recruit new ones to fill any existing vacancies. Nobody should hold the nation to ransome like this nitwits do continuously

🤣🤣

IPPIS has failed in many instances. I believe the system should be perfected before bringing other staff under it.

The Federal Government must engage ASUU as trade union and ensure that the welfare of teachers is a priority. However, Teachers must not be embarking on any Industrial action calculated to disrupt the smooth running of Varsities, else it would be tantamount to an illegality.

ippis is a big scam. I pity government workers

Strike this time is like winking in the dark... Nobody can see what you are doing.

They should sha leave hostel open.
