Nigerian students will have to remain at home as the meeting between the Nigerian government and officials of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has been rescheduled for Monday, next week.
After about four hours of meeting, the Federal Government finally gave conditions to integrate ASUU’s University Transparency and Accountability Solution, UTAS, into the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS.
The Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, who presided over the meeting and ASUU President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, did not reveal the conditions agreed for the integration of UTAS and IPPIS.
Meanwhile, the rescheduled meeting will only happen after ASUU must have met with its members on the new proposal contained in a memorandum of action reached at Thursday’s meeting.
ASUU had issued a two weeks warning strike on Monday, following government insistence that its members must enrol in the IPPIS platform which resulted to the non-payment of February salaries.
