The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, is
currently meeting the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in
Abuja over the strike embarked upon by the union.
When the two sides met on Thursday, the meeting was
adjourned after the Federal Government proposed the merger of the contentious
Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System and ASUU salary payment
system.
It was agreed that ASUU should present the proposal to
Congress before today’s meeting.
Before Tuesday’s meeting went into a closed session, ASUU
president, Prof Abiodun Ogunyemi, said it was unfortunate that the government
made IPPIS look like the major issue in the union’s demands.
“Another issue to correct is that we never said university
bursars are to generate the budget for the instructions. ASUU is here with a
report from members,” the ASUU president said.
