Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ilorin chapter, yesterday told its members to disregard the order of the Federal Government to enrol on Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
The union, which took the decision at a congress warned that any attempt by the Federal Government to stop salaries would be resisted with the activation of a total showdown.
Chairperson of ASUU in UNILORIN, Prof. Moyo Ajao, in a statement, asked the Accountant General of the Federation to stop wasting tax payer’s money in placing propaganda and misinformation in the public domain.
Ajao, who signed the congress resolution enjoined the Federal Government to address the challenges raised by the union on the ‘mere spreadsheet’ presented to it by its IPPIS contractor.
The congress resolved that the union would not be cajoled or forced into the scheme.
“ASUU, as a responsible union, is committed to university autonomy vis-a-vis council roles in our universities, legal and technical implications of enrolling its members on IPPIS and that FG should rather address challenges raised on the mere spread sheet presented by its contractor as IPPIS template.”
In a related development, the Benin zonal coordinator of ASUU, Fred Esumen, said if the Federal Government sanctions its members who did not enrol  by October 31, it would embark on “no pay, no work.”
He issued the threat after an enlarged meeting of the zone at the Ugbowo Campus of the University of Benin.
He declared that the IPPIS policy was a mere directive which cannot and should not take precedence over the law.
“I do not know the policy that they want to implement. Don’t pay, we also have our policy of no pay, no work. That is why the mobilisation of our members is ongoing. You know ASUU does not just wake up and commence an action”, he said.
He ruled out legal option in the pursuit of justice, alleging that  government does not honour agreement.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley. But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead. Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'. A fourth commented: 'Sky sports calling Disasi Madueke. They’ve done it again.' Disasi scored Chelsea's third goal in the 6-1 rout, converting Raheem Sterling's cross at the far post after th
