President Muhammadu Buhari met with the leadership of the Academic staff Union of Universities in the Presidential villa today.
The meeting is coming amid heightened tension between the federal government and university lecturers over the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System.
The Academic Staff union of Universities has refused to bow to government pressure and have also designed a unique prototype of the IPPIS known as the university transparency and accountability solution as a preferable means of paying lecturers salaries.
The federal government had threatened to stop paying salaries if lecturers refuse to enroll in the salary payment scheme and the academic staff union have called the bluff of the government and threatened a strike action.
I suggest teachers and lecturers(academic and nor academic staff) should be well paid so the can concentrate with the student and research, because in other to also end a good living as their graduated students you will see one of the best lecturer going to work in a company or going for political position to end good and resign from lecturing some go into business and pay more time to their businesses than the student.
The federal government had offered employment to individual not a group/ASSU. So ASSU should just respect the decision of the federal government.
