[FULL LIST]: ASUU-UNILAG Sanctions 240 Lecturers Who Enrolled On IPPIS

The UNILAG Chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), has at its congress held on December 29, 2020, resolved to
take disciplinary action against 240 of its members, who in
violation of ASUU’s position enrolled for the Integrated Personnel
and Payroll Information System (IPPIS).

The resolution of the chapter is contained in a circular Sighted
by Nairalaws, signed by Mr. Dele Ashiru and Mr. Olusegun
Samuel, the Chairperson and Secretary of the Union in the
University respectively. The ASUU chapter considered that the said
defiance of ASUU’s position by the embattled lecturers is a sign
that they can no longer be trusted to occupy any position within
the campus, and as a consequence, would no longer receive the
support and votes of ASUU members in the University in the
future.

“As a consequence of their actions and the implications as
described above, it is hereby resolved unanimously by the Congress
of ASUU-UNILAG held on December 29, 2020 that these under listed
members of ASUU-UNILAG cannot be trusted to advance, protect and
defend the interest of members of ASUU-UNILAG in any position
within the University, Hence, they cannot be trusted with any
position of responsibilities for which the votes of our members are
required now and in the future. It is the resolution of Congress
that the under listed members shall therefore not enjoy the support
and votes of members of ASUU-UNILAG in any election (s) they stand
for now or in the future.” the resolution reads in part.

Recall that ASUU had embarked on nationwide strike in opposition
to the Federal Government’s directive that all its members must
enroll in the IPPIS. The union had argued that the said enrollment
would undermine the autonomy of Universities and will not
adequately cover all the renumeration and benefits of its members,
especially those on sabbatical, external examiners, external
assessors, and Earned Academic Allowances (EAA). As an alternate
arrangement, ASUU had proposed the adoption of the University
Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) for payment.

As at the time of filing this report, the embattled lecturers
were yet to respond to the disciplinary action.
