Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to go on nationwide strike over the federal government’s resolve to stop the salaries of lecturers.
The threat stemmed from the FG's insistence on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
According to Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU national president, the union will activate its standing resolution of “no pay, no work” if the FG insists on IPPIS.
He said in Abuja that the move by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) and the Federal Ministry of Finance to impose the IPPIS on Nigeria’s federal universities was part of the government’s plan to thwart the union, Leadership reports.
“As resolved at the ASUU-NEC meeting at FUT Minna on 7th-8th December, 2019, should the accountant-general make bold his threat of stopping the salaries of our members, the union shall activate its standing resolution of 'no pay, no work'," he said.

The union on Tuesday, December 3, organised a peaceful rally against the IPPIS enrolment, warning that none of its members should be enrolled by the scheme.
Legit.ng gathered that the rally which included the ASUU chairman, Mohammed Attaihiru Ndanisa and some members of the union in the institution, was peacefully conducted as they walked around the school singing solidarity songs and declaring that IPPIS is a scam.
According to the report, the members then went to the Senate boardroom where the enrolment was taking place to meet the IPPIS officials.
