One of the primary cause of disagreement between ASUU and @GovNigeria on IPPIS is that of sabbaticals. The agreement allows for a lecturer to have only one sabbatical at a singular University. This can be either as a visiting lecturer or on a sabbatical. #ASUUWhy
This implies that a lecturer can not do his/her sabbatical in so many universities. what a lot of lecturers do is they go on Sabbatical while still enrolled in their primary University. They go on to 3 or 4 more universities or institutions in visiting capacity. #ASUUWhy
The way it works is that they get paid for every visit made to the other institutions, at the same time, making 100% of their gross from their primary institution. This costs the government money #ASUUWhy
For every university a lecturer visit one Sabbatical they get an additional 50% of their gross salary. #ASUUWhy
The government is cutting the cost with the new agreement and IPPIS is the system to checkmate the sharp practices by lecturers #ASUUWhy
The IPPIS system therefore allows for strict monitoring and the process of adjuncting. #ASUUWhy
There are other higher institutions of learning on the IPPIS platform. These institutions have unique systems, yet they are being effectively managed on IPPIS #ASUUWhy
Why is ASUU making it look like the University system is too complicated for a solution as diverse and adjustable as IPPIS #ASUUWhy

1)Claim that : Nigeria's poverty grows 6% per minute. (2018 presidential debate)
Fact checked by The ICIR; The claim is false and outrageous. if we follow the trajectory of Nigeria's poverty growing 6% every minute, it means by the 14th minute,
205 million people would be poor and by the 28th minute 410m Nigerians majority of them not yet born would be poor.
Today, with uncertainties clouding crude oil revenue, the non-oil sector has become the alternative for economic survival – if those who know how to tap the revenue are saddled with the enormous responsibility.
The job of alternative revenue generation, especially in a Nigeria facing the clear and present danger of losing its primary revenue source to aggressive innovation in technology, is one that must be approached with all sense of seriousness, responsibility and expertise.
The issue of payslip on IPPIS and being unable to access payslips for years as complained about by some of the lecturers. IPPIS is an end-to-end payment system, the payslip is on the portal, it is already there. The log-in details are there with you. #ASUUWhy
If for one reason or the other, the portal cannot be accessed. You get a mail monthly, it is automated and you can use that to track as well. Other federal employees do not have issues with this. #ASUUWhy
The rumor that the IPPIS system is centralized in Abuja and that in some event, people have been left with no choice than to travel to Abuja.This is false.Every issue is solved locally.Even before IPPIS, payment issues at university levels were reffered to school bursar #ASUUWhy
IPPIS was developed indigenously and runs on SOFTSUITE which is an enterprise solution developed solely by an indigenous IT firm based in Lagos, Nigeria. #ASUUWhy
IPPIS has the capacity to manage a limitless number of employees. The issue is therefore not the number of people the IPPIS can manage or enrol at any point in time. #ASUUWhy
The ASUU executives have been all over the place claiming IPPIS takes the autonomy of the university communities away. Is that a valid point? #ASUUWhy
We need to ask ASUU why its insisting it has taken industrial action over the enrollment into the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) scheme. #ASUUWhy
The questions are, why is ASUU afraid of the IPPIS initiative, what are their reasons behind their reasons behind their objection? Can employees dictate to employers? #ASUUWhy
These questions can perhaps give us a glimpse into why the industrial action is still lingering and why tertiary institution remain closed #ASUUWhy
