Ssanu makes u turn joins asuu to reject ippis
It seems like you're referring to a recent development in the Nigerian education sector. Here's a breakdown of what I understand:
- SSANU (Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities) is a trade union that represents the interests of non-teaching staff in Nigerian universities.
- ASUU (Academic Staff Union of Universities) is another trade union that represents the interests of academic staff in Nigerian universities.
- IPPIS (Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System) is a payroll system introduced by the Nigerian government to streamline the payment of salaries to federal civil servants, including university staff.
From what I gather, SSANU has joined forces with ASUU to reject the implementation of IPPIS in universities. This decision was made due to concerns that the system may compromise the autonomy of universities and lead to financial losses for staff.
The unions are reportedly opposed to the IPPIS system because it:
- May compromise the autonomy of universities, as the system is controlled by the federal government.
- May lead to financial losses for staff, as the system may not accurately capture their salaries and allowances.
- May disrupt the payment of salaries and allowances, leading to financial hardship for staff.
By joining forces, SSANU and ASUU aim to protect the interests of university staff and maintain the autonomy of universities in Nigeria.
