According to the minister: “The lecturers can be back in the classroom tomorrow if they say they want to go back. There is nothing withholding the lecturers from entering the classroom tomorrow.
“Everything that the government needs to do is done. If you want your salaries, get on the platform and collect your salaries.”
The protracted industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, was due to the body’s refusal to enrol on the federal government’s payment platform, Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
ASUU had severally insisted that it won’t enrol on the IPPIS system.
