The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has revealed that the Federal Government continues to use the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) for paying lecturers’ salaries.
Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, the National President of ASUU, expressed dissatisfaction in an interview, stating that despite the government’s promise to remove tertiary institutions from the IPPIS platform, the February salary was still processed through IPPIS.
This comes after the FG’s announcement in December 2023, claiming the exemption of tertiary institutions, including universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education, from the IPPIS platform.
The IPPIS, unveiled in 2006, is a government initiative aimed at streamlining payroll for government ministries, departments, and agencies.
