FG averts crisis, pays January salary to ASUU members not enrolled in IPPIS

To avoid the looming strike action which members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have threatened, the federal government has paid their January salaries.

This was confirmed by Guardian newspaper in a report on Saturday, February 1.

According to the report, the union members, who refused to enrol in the FG’s new payment system called IPPIS, were paid late on Friday, January 31.

The Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Lagos Zone, Prof. Olusiji Sowande, confirmed the payment, so did Bayero University, Kano chairman of the union, Prof. Ibrahim Barde.

FG stopped what could have been a huge crisis by paying ASUU members their January salaries in spite of not enrolling in IPPIS.
According to the two academics, the action of the government has averted disaster for now.

It was gathered that before the payment was made on Friday night, ASUU had begun the mobilisation of its members ahead of planned strike action across the country.
