The Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU) has disagreed with ASUU, saying it would not accept the payment platform – University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), designed by lecturers.
SSANU has notified the federal government about the new platform it developed in collaboration with the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU), which will serve as an alternative to the controversial Integrated Payroll and Payment Information System.
The new platform is named University General Peculiar Payroll Payment System (UGPPPS).
The minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, said the government would look into it and must have a “handshake with IPPIS and other payment systems in use by the Federal Government.”
The new president of the union, Mohammed Ibrahim, who was accompanied by the immediate past President, Samson Ugwoke during a thank-you visit and presentation of his successor to Ngige at the weekend, explained that the union would still look into IPPIS.
“We are here to present the new President of SSANU and ask that you extend the patriotism, friendship and understanding which I enjoyed to my successor,” Ugwoke said.
