A lawmaker, Emma Ugwuerua, urged Federal Government not to stop the salaries of members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU, who failed to enroll under the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System IPPIS. Ugwuerua, representing Nsukka West in Enugu StateHouse of Assembly, made the appeal in an interview with newsmen in Nsukka sayingthat the advice became necessary to avert a nationwide strike. He urged the government to further dialogue withASUU over the unresolved issues concerning IPPIS. Federal government insisted ASUU members shouldenroll under the system to ensure deductions accruing to government were dulycollected but ASUU argued that the enrollment would violate the universityautonomy. Ugwuerua appealed to the government to consider theinterest of students, who would be at the receiving end, should ASUU embark onan indefinite strike.
