ASUU had vowed to resist attempts to force its members to register on the IPPIS platform, threatening to throw the university system into another indefinite round of nationwide strike. Meanwhile, university lecturers have threatened a`No Pay, No Work’ action over the Federal Government’s plan. “ASUU has a resolution, that, should government go ahead to stop the salaries of our workers on the account of the IPPIS, we shall invoke our own resolution of “No Pay, No Work’’. “We saw the circular from the accountant-general’s office purportedly stopping salaries of federal institutions’ workers not registered on IPPIS, but we (ASUU) won’t take them serious yet.
