The Federal Government has given the nod for Public Universities as well as Polytechnics and Colleges of Education captured in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS, to exit the payment platform.
The Minister of Education, Prof. Mamman Tahir, disclosed the information, shortly after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu.
He stated that the University Authorities and other Tertiary Institutions will become independently responsible for the payment of personnel instead of relying on the payment platform.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities had consistently kicked against the inclusion of universities in the IPPIS by government.
