Breaking: FULAFIA defies ASUU, vows to enroll into IPPIS
The management of the Federal University Lafia, FULAFIA, says it is ready to comply with the President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive to enroll into the Integrated Personnel Payroll System, IPPIS.
INFOMEDIA reports that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, had objected to the idea of the IPPIS enrollment, insisting that the integrated payment system would interfere with its autonomy.

The union stated that IPPIS violates university autonomy and FGN/ASUU agreement as it did not address the peculiarity inherent in the nature and structure of universities.
“Specifically, IPPIS violates and erodes university autonomy inherent in the extent provisions of section 2AA of the Universities Miscellaneous Provision (Amendment) Act 2003,” ASUU’s Zonal Coordinator in Owerri, Uzo Onyebinama has said.
However, the information and public relations officer of the FULAFIA, Abubakar Ibrahim, in an interview with DAILY NIGERIAN on Friday, disclosed that the university would comply with the directive, despite ASUU’s objection.
