\nThe Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will soon suspend its strike, says the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ngige gave the hint during an interview with the media in Abuja<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that the Ministries of Finance, Education, Labour and Employment and the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation will be meeting with ASUU to resolve the disagreement on the controversial Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ngige however said government was ready for an integrity test of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution developed as an alternative to IPPIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cThe issue of ASUU will soon come to an end. Two reasons \u2013 ASUU have called the Federal Government, represented by Finance and the Accountant-General Office and their direct employers, the Ministry of Education to come for the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are ready to do that. After the independence day celebration, the four ministries and agencies involved will gather together with ASUU. We will look at the UTAS. If there are shortcomings with IPPIS as complained which UTAS have corrected. What\u2019s wrong about it? It is software, we will look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSecondly, ASUU members have been collecting their money since COVID-19 came and I wrote a memo to Mr president that ASUU members are still Nigerians. Even the members, have families that they care for. By upper week, we are going to arrange for this demonstration.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Education: ASUU to suspend strike soon-Ngige","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"education-asuu-to-suspend-strike-soon-ngige","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-01 00:55:17","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-01 00:55:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=149","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":146,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-10-01 00:48:48","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-01 00:48:48","post_content":"\n
