The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been vindicated again as many civil servants across several Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) including the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) were suspended for alleged salary padding on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS).

The allegation was confirmed by RMAFC Chairman, Mohammed Bello Shehu, who said those identified had been placed on suspension pending investigation.
The affected workers were found to have manipulated the IPPIS system to pad their salaries above their threshold.
Recall the deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) against the IPPIS was part of ASUU’s demand in its last strike which was suspended in October 2022.
IPPIS which was conceptualized in October 2006 government as one of its Reform Programme, to curb corruption such as payment of salaries to ghost workers, as being said to have contributed to about 75% of problems affecting Nigeria’s university system.
