The House of Representatives has committed to take the necessary steps to overcome the problem posed by the failure to follow Presidential directions to withdraw universities and other higher institutions from IPPIS.<\/p>\n
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Honourable Abubakar Fulata, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on University Education, stated this during the committee’s meeting with the Vice Chancellor’s Conference in Abuja on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Fulata stated that the committee is determined to address any issue that may impede the normal operation of colleges around the country.<\/p>\n
He stated that President Bola Tinubu listened to them and approved the removal of universities and other higher institutions from IPPIS.<\/p>\n
He stated that the President has also restructured higher education councils and boards, as well as recently approved a 50% subsidy on power tariffs for hospitals and tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n
Fulata expressed optimism that the issue of non-implementation of the President’s IPPIS mandate will be addressed.<\/p>\n
He mentioned that it takes the vice chancellor of a university to go through roughly 7 MDAs on the IPPIS platform before even a cleaner could be hired.<\/p>\n
Prof Lilian Salami, VC of UNIBEN, stated that despite the presidential instruction to remove universities and other tertiary institutions from IPPIS, they continue to rely on the platform for recruiting, salary payments, and other activities.<\/p>\n
NAN reports that on July 12, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) directed that the nation’s university system be removed from the IPPIS platform as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
The announcement came after the federal government had previously approved the program.<\/p>\n
The new directive was apparently part of the resolutions reached during President Tinubu’s council meeting at the Presidential Villa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
