The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) says its members are experiencing pains due to the implementation of the Integrated Personnel Payroll System (IPPIS) in the universities.
It asked the government to unbundle the mode of payment by decentralizing payment along staff unions to guarantee proper payment of salaries according to staff status.

The union stated these in the communique issued at the end of its 41st National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The communique, signed by SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim, also gave the Federal Government an ultimatum of February to pay its members all the arrears of the new minimum wage.
“NEC recalls the several assurances of the Government to pay the agreed arrears of the new National Minimum Wage.
“Unfortunately, this promise is yet to be met after countless months; the last promise being the end of October, 2021.
“Government is enjoined to see to it that they keep to the promise of payment of the arrears of the New National Minimum Wage, which has already lost its value as at today,” the communique partly read.
The union decried the “ugly state of roads nationwide”, saying that it is shameful that a country like Nigeria with vast wealth cannot boast of motorable roads nationwide.
It also alleged extortion of motorists by security personnel on Nigerian roads, asking the government to wade in and find a lasting solution.
