Strike: ASUU, Nigerian govt to meet Tuesday -Official (Premium Times)

The union's president said the University Transparency and Accountability Solutions (UTAS) has been cleared for use by the government.

Good journalism costs a lot of money. Today, they are giving 120, because the private people have bastardised the secondary and primary school. As agreed by the Chief of Staff (to President Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Gambari), UTAS will be implemented to cover all the universities, This is the government that said –while we are on strike– it used N200 billion to feed school children. This is the government that has spent N400 billion naira on trader moni. ASUU had developed UTAS over complaint that the IPPIS deployed by the government for the payment of university workers’ emoluments failed to recognise the peculiarities of the university system, and that it is full of errors.
