The Non-Academic Staff of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), yesterday, withdrew from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) over irregularities. National President of SSANU, Samson Ugwoke, also cautioned against resumption of schools in the country, saying the Federal Government was not ready for the health challenges that reopening of schools could pose. The unions, therefore, threatened to proceed on strike once the nation’s universities open for academic activities. The unions also passed a vote of no confidence on the Wale Babalakin Committee, which is negotiating the 2009 agreements with the Federal Government. We have again cried out to the general public with a view to inviting stakeholders and well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on government to correct the anomalies in the IPPIS.
