There is a line that says the federal government should pay N40 billion for (Earned Academic Allowances (EAA) for ASUU and other unions, that has been paid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cN30 billion was also budgeted or was to be paid for revitalization that also was paid late last year. N22.127 billion was agreed also in that December agreement, to be paid from the supplementary budget as Earned Allowances for 2021, that money was also paid last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was put in the supplementary budget which was passed around June-July and the money was remitted. So, the government has done that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the controversial issue of introducing the University Transparency and Accountability Solution payment platform as preferred by ASUU instead of government\u2019s Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, the minister said the matter would be revisited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUTAS, which the universities developed has been subjected to test by the body responsible for that, Nigeria Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), which ran a user acceptance test also called integrity and vulnerability test, but in their report, they pointed out to ASUU, the areas of lapses in that platform, which will not make it usable as presently configured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut ASUU has written back to NITDA to say that some of those observations were not correct,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ngige, arrangements have now been concluded for the technical teams of NITDA and ASUU to meet and jointly conduct or repeat the test on the UTAS platform, so as to find a solution to the impasse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has given an update over the ongoing negotiation between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
