IPPIS: FG will look into SSANU, NASU UGPPPS ― Ngige

By Johnbosco Agbakwuru – Abuja

Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, weekend, said that the Federal Government will look at the payment platform, University General Peculiar Payroll Payment System, UGPPPS, designed by the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities, SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities, NASU.

The non teaching staff Unions in the universities have been complaining of irregularities in payment of salary since they migrated to the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS, platform.

SSANU and NASU at the wake of the controversy designed their own platform as an alternative to the IPPIS.
