Parents, vice-chancellors, and students in tertiary institutions across the country have expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration for removing tertiary institutions from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
The vice-chancellors, under the aegis of the Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (CVCNU), applauded the decision of the Federal Government for removing universities from the controversial payment system.
The Secretary-General of the committee, Prof. Yakubu Ochefu, announced this while addressing reporters on the sideline of a one-day workshop for Advancement and Alumni Officers of Nigerian Universities yesterday in Abuja.
Ochefu said the removal would birth a new university system.
Also, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) hailed the Federal Government for the exemption.
In separate statements by NANS Senate President Akinteye Afeez Babatunde and NAPS President Ridwan Opeyemi, the students noted that the decision would address concerns raised by the Academic Staff of Union of Polytechnic (ASUP), the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), and streamline administrative processes.
