THE leadership of the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) has called on the Federal Government to ensure full payment of Peculiar Earned Academic Allowance (PEAA) to its members as well as prompt remittance of the check-off dues to the union. Ogirima said the lecturers were unhappy that the initial fears and opposition to IPPIS platform had never been addressed despite assurances by the government officials to take care of all the peculiarities of the colleges of education. He said, “Our members are looking forward to the government to redress, without further delay, the challenges engendered by the imposition of IPPIS. “Same reason can be adduced for the persistent deduction of members’ salary for the National Housing Fund, to which they did not subscribe. OAGF has flagrantly refused to remit to the union the dues deducted since the utilization of the pay platform to effect payment of salary of members.
