 FG blackmailing lecturers into enrolling on IPPIS, ASUU says

By Emmanuel Awosika

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has accused the Federal Government of blackmailing university workers into enrolling for the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System.

ASUU said the FG’s directive to suspend payment of salaries to varsity workers not enrolled on IPPIS to weaken its members and force them to join the platform.

Chairman of University of Port Harcourt Chapter of ASUU, Dr. Austen Sado, said this on Sunday while speaking in an interview.

Sado said that although he and some colleagues had not received pay since February, they would still refuse enroll on the IPPIS platform.

His words: “It (the order to stop salaries) clearly shows that there is something the Federal Government is not telling the people. They are not paying us (some lecturers). So, why are they saying by November?

“What they are doing now is just blackmail and threat to see how they would weaken our members to go and enroll (on IPPIS). People who have not enrolled are not being paid; some people for eight months, some for three, going to four months. I have not been paid salary since July, while some people have not been paid since February.”
