Federal The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has
called for the adoption of the University Transparency and
Accountability Solution (UTAS) in the country.
Mahmud Lawan, Coordinator, Kano Zonal Coordinator of the
association, made the call in a statement issued in Kano on
Thursday, at the end of its meeting held at the Federal University,
Dutse.
Naija News recalls that the Federal Government had directed
university lecturers to enroll in the Integrated Payroll and
Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
The union, however, rejected IPPIS insisting that it violated
the university autonomy, and proposed UTAS as an alternative to the
IPPIS.
Lawan said that the union expressed dismay over non-payment of
salaries to its members in the by the government. He also
urged the Federal Government to investigate the matter, noting
that payment of salaries to its members were suspended in the past
three months.
It also called for the provision of revitalisation fund,
completion of renegotiation exercise and adoption of UTAS, to end
the strike.

In another related development, The Lagos Zone of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has faulted Labour and
Employment Minister Chris Ngige’s claims that the union was on
strike because of its anger against the Integrated Personnel and
Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and that lecturers were being
paid in full, despite the strike.
The union also said it had not been informed of a meeting next
week where Ngige said ASUU would be allowed to demonstrate its
purpose-built University Transparency and Accountability Solution
(UTAS) software as a replacement for the IPPIS.
