The President of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics
(ASUP), Anderson Ezeibe, has said that polytechnic lecturers regret enrolling
on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
According to Ezeibe, this is because IPPIS had been
characterised with omission of staff members’ names and non-remittance of
check-off dues, including closing the windows to effect corrections where
necessary.
He stated this during a meeting with the Minister of State
for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba on Tuesday in Abuja, along with other executive
members of the union.
Ezeibe also admitted that polytechnics are not ready to re-open
yet, because most of the COVID-19 protocols put in place by the federal
government, are not in place.
He said beyond the sentiments of asking all institutions
resume, the Polytechnics lacked support to enforce resumption protocols.
“Recall that we had issued a 15-day ultimatum in respect of
some pertinent demands before the COVID-19 outbreak; being Nigerians, we had to
encourage our members to endure.
“Be that as it may, with the gradual reopening of economic
activities, it is pertinent we bring up these issues again,” Ezeibe said.
