The ASUU boss said Nigeria’s problems are not about payroll but the failure of leadership at state and national levels.

ASUU says its “refusal to enrol on the IPPIS is to protect the rule of law, the sanctity of the University system and ensure the education system gets it due.”

According to the letter “Information reaching the leadership of ASUU UI reveals that the level of compliance to the directive of the union against IPPIS forceful enrolment is overwhelming nationwide.

“There is clear evidence that we are winning the struggle as our support base in the various congresses remains solid. By the resolution of our Union, no member of the union is allowed to enlist in the IPPIS platform.

“Nigeria’s problem is not about payroll but the failure of leadership both at national and state levels, and the desperation of the ruling class to enslave everyone on behalf of foreign economic interests. United we bargain; divided we beg. The people United can never be defeated. Dare to struggle dare to win. Solidarity forever.”
