FG directs immediate separation of varsities from IPPIS

The Federal Executive Council, FEC, has demanded a speedy separation of the university system from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System as approved last December.

This was one of the outcomes of the council’s meeting on Wednesday at the State House, Abuja.

The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in an update on key decisions made at the meeting on his verified X handle, @aonanuga1956.

On December 13, 2023, the FG approved the exemption of universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and other tertiary institutions of learning from the IPPIS.

It said, henceforth, remunerations to staff members of these institutions would no longer flow through the platform.

Onanuga said the directive on the separation of the universities from the IPPIS platform was given to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.

Wednesday’s move is expected to address the long-standing challenge between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
