Adamu Adamu, the minister of education who disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja said that government will not give in to the demand by the ASUU for their members to be paid the six months salaries withheld over the ongoing strike, saying that will serve as deterrent to other government workers.
He said the strike by the university-based unions came despite the trillions of naira expended on education by the present administration directly, as well as by agencies such as TEFFUND and UBEC.
The minister stated that five of the university-based unions will likely call off their strike within the next one week while that of ASUU is not certain.
Adamu also said that the University Perculiar Personnel and Payroll System (U3PS) and the the University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS) outscored the Integrated Personnel Payroll and Information System (IPPIS) during the integrity tests conducted, affiming that ASUU’s peculiarities will be accommodated in whatever platform that may me adopted.
