We’re winning IPPIS battle, says ASUU – TheNigerialawyer

THE Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Friday said
it had received reports of overwhelming compliance of her members
nationwide with the directive not to enroll in the Integrated
Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

The Union says there is clear evidence that the union is winning
the struggle against lawless government and autocratic leadership
of the country.

The Chairman, University of Ibadan Chapter of the Union, Prof
Deji Omole, in a release, thanked members for standing on principle
to salvage public education and secure the future of Nigeria for
the children of the masses.

According to the ASUU boss, Nigeria’s problems are not about
payroll but failure of leadership at state and national levels.

ASUU says its refusal to enroll on the IPPIS is meant to protect
the rule of law, sanctity of the university system and ensure the
education system gets its due.

“Information reaching the leadership of ASUU UI reveals that the
level of compliance to the directive of the union against IPPIS
forceful enrolment is overwhelming nationwide.

“There is clear evidence that we are winning the struggle as our
support base in the various congresses remains solid.

“By the resolution of our union, no member of the union is
allowed to enlist in the IPPIS platform.

“Nigeria’s problem is not about payroll but failure of
leadership both at national and state levels, and the desperation
of the ruling class to enslave everyone on behalf of foreign
economic interests.

“United we bargain, divided we beg. The people united can never
be defeated. Dare to struggle, dare to win. Solidarity forever,” he
stated.
