"Some Professors were paid N8,000 as salary" - Says ASUU Chairman

The Chairman of The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi has vowed that the body will maintain its position in the IPPIS

The Chairman of The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi has vowed that the body will maintain its position in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

According to Professor Biodun during an interview by the Channel Television said that some Universities lecturer and professors were being paid the sum of N8,000 as salary.

However, Biodun blamed the IPPIS for such irregularities and also state that the payment body is corrupt.

Words from Ogunyemi read in part;

“The issue of what we call amputated salary came into it because the IPPIS platform was not designed for the university system.

“So, the platform does not recognise negotiated agreements like we are talking about allowance – unacademic allowances, research journal, and other things.

“In fact, there were professors that were paid like N8,000 in some months on our campuses. So, we don’t expect anything otherwise because that platform was not meant for the university system.
