THE Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, has said the recent alleged discovery of N80 billion in the office of the Accountant General of the Federation, AGF, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, vindicated its opposition to Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS.
Reacting to the alleged fraud, in a statement issued today by its president, Dr Smart Olugbeko, the union insisted that it would not change its preference to the University Transparency and Accountability Solution, UTAS against the federal government’s preferred payment platform.
In the statement, tagged:” On UTAS We Stand”, the union of lecturers of the nation’s colleges of education, said federal government’s Insistence on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) constitutes a ridiculous contradiction to the acclaimed anti-corruption posture of the present administration.
According to union, The FG has no more excuse for the continued delay in migrating academics in tertiary institutions to the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), the ingenious alternative pay platform innovated by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
