The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issues concerning the Integrated Payroll and Personal Information System (IPPIS), and the University Transparency and Accountability Solution, UTAS, have been resolved.
The ASUU chairman, Emmanuel Osodeke also said that as the government meets with the Union today, he hopes the lecturers would go back to classes after today’s(Tuesday) meeting.
Osodoke made this known during an interview with Channels Television.
He further highlighted how the government has not done enough to end the ongoing strike.
He said: “The issue of IPPIS and UTAS has been put to rest. If the government agrees with us tomorrow, everything will be resolved,” he said.
“The issues of IPPIS and UTAS have been put to rest as agreed with the Chief of Staff, the UTAS will be implemented.
“You see, if this government is serious, this strike will not last more than two weeks. The President directed the Minister of Education to finish within two weeks, now two weeks have passed and they didn’t come back,” he added.
“The government has reduced it to just salaries alone. But if they had looked at the whole agreement and implemented it, we would not be talking about funding.”
Osodeke also suggested that if Tuesday’s meeting goes well, the strike action may be called off.
“We are willing to sign,” he added.
