Gbajabiamila while speaking on the essence of the meeting said it was intended to have a timeline that will be acceptable to ASUU and the federal government, reminding ASUU that their agreement in the last meeting with the leadership of the House was that features in UTAS will be brought into IPPIS, to address certain peculiarities of the university teachers.
“If ASUU is asking for a signed agreement by the federal government where then is the issue of trust and said by ASUU.
If it is based on trust I won’t have called for this meeting. This is the first time after several meetings I’m hearing the word interim. This is not the agreement. The agreement was that UTAS will be brought into IPPIS.
“We’ll continue to work with the agreement based on trust as you said”, he said.
“We’ll accept IPPIS as an interim measure”, he said.
On his part, the acting Accountant General, Sylva Okolieaboh, called on ASUU to trust them as they will make sure IPPIS lives up to everybody’s expectations.
