The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike soon.
ASUU national president, Biodun Ogunyemi, declared this on Wednesday after a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, held at the Federal University of Technology, Minna
Ogunyemi, a professor at Olabisi Onabanjo University, said the union shall activate its standing resolution of “No pay, No Work’ if federal government makes any attempt to stop their salaries over the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
Recall that the government had threatened to stop salaries of federal workers who refuse to enrol in the system it said would curb corruption in the public service.
In a series of tweets seen by EduCeleb.com, ASUU made public its next line of action should government do that.
“Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike if the federal government makes any attempt to stop salaries of their members over Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
“ASUU national president, Biodun Ogunyemi, who declared this yesterday, after a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, held at the Federal University of Technology, Minna from 7th-8th, December, 2019, said the union shall activate its standing resolution of “No pay, No Work.”
“He noted that the union is shocked that the OAGF said IPPIS is meant to comply with global best practices when they cannot tell Nigerians or any other country where IPPIS is extended to the universities as one of the best practices.”
