The Staff of all Nigeria’s Tertiary Institutions celebrated bleak Sallah as they are yet to be paid their July salaries like their counterparts in other MDA’s.

 

Eidul Kabir which was celebrated yesterday was bleak for most of them as they couldn’t afford to buy Rams and other Sallah essentials for their families.

Some workers who spoke to Nigerian Tracker on condition of anonymity lamented that “most of them had to resort to payday loans that commercial bank gives at exorbitant interest rates” while others couldn’t even get the loan.

The Non Teaching unions had agreed to join the IPPIS platform but most staff who spoke to Nigerian Tracker are now regretting as they believe that their unions have lured them as they are now having unexplained high deductions and have lost all their allowances.

 

Nigerian Tracker learns that since their enrolment in the IPPIS platform, the staff have no fixed date for the payments of their salaries in all the Tertiary Institutions and are not paid any allowances as agreed in their various agreement with FGN.
