ASUU Strikes: Only Workers On IPPIS Will Receive Salaries- Buhari.

ASUU strike: Only workers on IPPIS will receive salaries- Buhari.
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), says only workers captured on the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System platform will be paid salaries.
He said this during the presentation of the proposed 2021 Budget of N13 trillion to the National Assembly on Thursday.
Before presenting the proposed budget, Buhari gave a breakdown of the performance of the 2020 budget.
He explained that the decision not to pay federal workers not captured on the IPPIS was to reduce personnel cost.
This is coming amidst the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities over IPPIS and other matters.
He said, “Personnel cost is still our largest single item of expenditure. In the 7 months to 31st July 2020, it accounted for 34 percent of total Federal Government spending and is projected at 33 percent of 2021 expenditure.
“To check the incidence of payments to non-existent personnel and unauthorised allowances, only Federal staff that have been captured on the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (‘IPPIS’) platform will receive salaries.
“All agencies have been directed to ensure that they obtain all necessary approvals before embarking on any fresh recruitment. Any breach of these directives will be severely sanctioned.â€
ASUU had rejected IPPIS, insisting that it violates university autonomy and proposed the UTAS as an alternative.
Instead, the University Transparency and Accountability Solution was developed as an alternative to IPPIS by the varsity lecturers.

He said if Nigeria wanted to have 21st-century universities, with global ranking, it cannot be achieved through IPPIS.
“This is because IPPIS will shut the door against scholars who are to come from outside Nigeria, scholars who are not on the pensionable appointment within the system.
“IPPIS will bring universities under direct civil service control and the system does not work that way.
“That kind of system will kill innovation, will kill creativity and it will kill academic freedom and autonomy.â€

Nigerian Professor, Temitope Oriola Appointed Advisor On Police Reform In Canada
~2.0 mins read
Temitope Oriola, an associate professor of criminology at the University of Alberta, has been appointed as a special advisor on police act review to the government of the Canadian province of Alberta, authorities said in a statement.
The don was hired, for a six-month term, to provide independent advice to the Albertan government to guide its decision as the province seeks to improve its criminal justice system.
Meanwhile, Alberta, a western Canada province, had last August appointed Nigerian-born Canadian, Kaycee Madu, as its minister of justice and solicitor general.
Upon appointment, Mr Madu had the mandate to see to the changes in the police act and provincial election finance laws proposed by the select special democratic accountability committee.
The Albertan government said it set the police act review on course last September, since when it has held 13 engagement sessions attended by approximately 200 organizations representing law enforcement, health and social services sectors, municipalities and indigenous communities.
This was followed by almost 15,000 Albertans completing a public survey that covered several topics related to law enforcement, such as the role of police in the community, processes for handling complaints from the public and officer discipline, the government said.
Mr Oriola, a PREMIUM TIMES columnist and joint editor-in-chief of African Security, has now been appointed to advise the government on how to review the changes intended for the police act which is expected to be completed this fall.
“With a body of research and published articles on law enforcement issues, Dr Oriola brings specialized experience and knowledge to reforming policing in Alberta,†Mr Madu noted in the statement released Wednesday.
“Dr Oriola’s academic expertise and lived experience will also help us shape the ongoing engagement with diverse and racialized communities and ensure that our work to modernize policing in Alberta continues to be inclusive,†he added.
Speaking on his appointment, Mr Oriola said he hopes to use his expertise in criminology and as a person of colour to entrench “law enforcement practices that rarely rely on force and police organizations that are trusted by all the communities they serve.â€
The academic whose expertise straddles policing and the use of force by police, transnational crimes, terrorism studies, resource conflict and social movements added that his goal was to develop a framework for the state police on how to reduce excessive use of force, while ensuring officer safety.
“I am pleased to join the team of committed professionals dedicated to retooling the Police Act for 21st century policing. This will provide a socio-legal framework to reduce excessive use of force, ensure officer safety and enhance trust in and legitimacy of police organizations,†he said.
Mr Oriola is a two-time Carnegie fellow and recipient of the Governor General’s Academic Gold Medal. He is also president of the Canadian Association of African Studies.
