Nigerian  Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities have refused to shift their grounds on the implementation of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System.

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday received the ASUU leadership led by Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi at the State House, Abuja.

At the meeting, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, asked the ASUU to comply with IPPIS in national interest, adding that his office was already in the process of streamlining all issues of human resources in government.

But the ASUU president reiterated the union’s position the “IPPIS violates the laws of the federation, violates university statutes, and violates agreements between the Federal Government and ASUU.”

Ogunyemi, who said the IPPIS would be a “disruptive intrusion’’, urged the government to welcome ASUU’s ongoing innovation of “a robust system of human resource management and compensation, called the University Transparency and Accountability Solution, which will address peculiarities of universities and end inappropriate recruitments.”
