    What is About the Payroll System (IPPIS) that the Nigerian University Staff are Against its Implementation?

    What is About the Payroll System (IPPIS) that the Nigerian University Staff are Against its Implementation?

    On Monday, it was widely reported that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to stop work in defiance of a Federal Government directive that all its staff enrolled on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS).

    ASUU warns Nigerian gov’t against ‘forceful enrollment’ of universities into IPPIS https://t.co/hY7qeO296r pic.twitter.com/TPIjaH5Ypw

    — Daily Nigerian (@daily_nigerian) October 28, 2019

    In June, the FG directed that the staff of federal universities must enrol on the IPPIS platform just like the staff of other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

    This, according to the government, was to engender accountability and centralise the payroll systems of the federal government.

    ASUU claimed enrollment on the system violates the autonomy of universities and doesn’t accommodate the peculiarities and structure of Nigerian universities.

    President Buhari is paid from IPPIS, as are judges. IPPIS hasn’t fixed their retirement ages at 60 years. The military is on IPPIS. They have allowances and foreign duty. But let’s continue to be held hostage by ASUU and to prioritise political interest over National interest.🙄

    — Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) October 28, 2019

    But following the recent announcement by President Muhammadu Buhari that any federal government worker not captured on IPPIS by October 31 would not be paid his monthly salary, ASUU has threatened to go on strike if its staff won’t be paid.

    And since the policy is already in place, we decided to check out what the IPPIS is and why it’s of importance to the Nigerian Federal Government.

    Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS)

    The system is a centralised payroll platform by the Federal Government. It helps the Government plan and manages its payroll budget, ensuring there’s no loophole in the disbursement of pays.

    President Buhari is paid from IPPIS, as are judges. IPPIS hasn’t fixed their retirement ages at 60 years. The military is on IPPIS. They have allowances and foreign duty. But let’s continue to be held hostage by ASUU and to prioritise political interest over National interest.🙄

    — Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) October 28, 2019

    According to the platform’s site, it was instituted in April 2007. And what federal government staff need to do is register on the IPPIS verification portal, a web-based application, which collects their data.

    After registering on the platform, they will need to print the documents and proceed to their MDA for submission and biometric enrollment.

    Once enrolled, the platform’s data is what is used by the body responsible for payment of salaries and wages directly to the employee’s bank account with the necessary deductions (taxes, insurance and all) made automatically.

    2. Most lecturers are happy with @MBuhari administration introduction of IPPIS
    It will stop the flagrant deduction by a cabal in most Universities and regularize salaries .@ASUUNGR has lost their attempt to blackmail this administration.🤣🤣😂

    — eguando tone jeff (@teguando1) October 28, 2019

    According to the Accountant-General of Nigeria, whose purview the platform is under, the system has enrolled over seven hundred thousand FG staff from over 561 MDAs.

    This is said to have helped the government save over two hundred billion Naira from managing personnel costs and the discovery of ghost workers. If this is true, one can see why the FG is keen on getting everyone on board.

    However, ASUU’s argument has been that the system will not be able to cater to its peculiarities – sabbatical leaves, part-time programmes, staffing of new programmes, visitation, payment of out-sourced services and earned allowances.

    It wants to develop its own system, a stand some staff members are not necessarily on the same page with.

    I'm an ASUU member, and I share @DrJoeAbah's view on this ASUU-IPPIS nonsense. I don't care whether my employer pays me from a savings account at CBN Mars or Jupiter branch. All I care for is to get paid promptly for every work that I do.

    Shikenan! https://t.co/ba30HcMBEr

    — Faisal U. Kaita (@FaisalKaita) October 28, 2019

    The IPPIS system is, however, said to be flexible enough to accommodate all the above peculiarities. It is been used by several other MDAs with no known complaints so far. This would suggest as much.

    Hopefully, both parties will find a middle ground which does not lead to another extended academic strike.
