The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has shut down rumors of President Muhammadu Buhari directing the stoppage of salaries of university lecturers that are yet to enroll into the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, revealed recently the reports are false.
He added that ASUU met with PMB to talk about the IPPIS problems which the union had turned down for good reasons.
His words, “To put the records straight, at no point during the meeting did President Buhari put a closure to the ongoing discussion on ASUU’s preference for the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS).
“He also did not direct that salaries of ASUU members be stopped for failure to enroll in the IPPIS.
“Any report to the contrary is circulated to mislead the public.”
“We had useful discussions with the President and we're hopeful that our prayers will receive the expected prompt attention.”
