Nigerian students have cried out over the refusal of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to be captured on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) by the federal government.

Some student said ASUU’s rejection of IPPIS is an avenue for them to go on strike knowing fully well that most institutions are writing their final examination.

ASUU had said that it would maintain it’s “no pay, no work” stance if the federal government go ahead with its threat not to pay anyone not registered on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System by October 31.

ASUU and FG have been at loggerheads over the compulsory migration of lecturers to the IPPIS platform by the end of the month

Below are reactions of Nigerian students on micro blogging platform, twitter

ASUU's rejection of IPPIS (Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System) has to be the most ridiculous thing i have heard in awhile.

That payment system is all about accountability. There is something fishy about ASUU!

ASUU rejected TSA, the FG doesn't have control of revenues generated in its universities, thanks to ASUU.

ASUU again rejects IPPIS..ASUU wants to dictate to the FG how to pay salaries to its employees. Where in the world does this happen?

The government should use the ASUU rejection of IPPIS as a starting point to the dismantling of the unworkable system of managing tertiary education in Nigeria. No employee should be able to dictate to their employer the payment system the employer should use. Enough is enough!

ASUU doesn’t want IPPIS. What’s the excuse? Will University lecturers go on strike in 2019 because the Government insists on automating their payroll?
— tolu ogunlesi (@toluogunlesi) October 28, 2019

If ASUU should proceed on their illegal strike because of the IPPS, the Federal Govt should just recruit new lecturers to teach in all the Universities.

Some of us with Master Degree& PhDs who might be interested in lecturing would have an opportunity to secure those positions

Does ASUU stands for anything meaningfully progressive out all?
The good old ASUU has lost almost every shed of moral standing.

One of these days, we will sit down and discuss how ASUU is also a big part of the same rot that has plagued the education sector.
The corruption within her ranks is second to none.

Make no mistake, ASUU is not and has never been interested in the plight of students.

ASUU is a corrupt organization and needs deliverance. FG will save almost N25bn from ghost workers in the University system.

Dear FG:
1. pay only University lecturers captured on the IPPIS platform.
2. Pay them the new updated salary scale

3. Ignore ASUU

ASUU is quiet when it comes to
Sex for grades.
Poor learning conditions.
Lecturers, lecturing once a month for 20min with 1990 note.

ASUU goes on strike when
They want salary increased.
When govt wants to implement the IPPIS in universities.
ASUU cares only for themselves.

Me: I'll finish secondary school by age 17 then enter university that same year and spend 4 years in university. By 2023 I should be done with my first degree right

IPPIS would expose most lecturers in Nigeria who keep multiple full time jobs. Mr president @MBuhari mustn't bow to Asuu pressure
— king Marvel (@marveln1) October 27, 2019

ASUU does not want the Govt to centralize their Salary thru IPPIS but they want Lecturers to Harass Students for Grades. They are happy with Students lives getting ruined by Lecturers, they want to Strike to Delay Students from Graduating for Selfish Reasons.

A Disgrace..
