 ASUU president in the letter, include that arrangements are now underway by the union to make an initial presentation of its University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) to the Federal Government.
Ogunyemi express IPPIS as “a business venture of some interest groups” in Nigeria.
He added that “their profit margin increases by the increasing number of University staff they are able to capture” and admonished members of the Union not to hesitate in rejecting the IPPIS.
He stated that the intentional withholding and distortion of salaries by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation are ploys to hoodwink and arm-twist members of the union.
He gave the members an assurance that once the issue of payment platform is sorted out, the union will then follow a logical end of the main demands behind the ongoing strike.
The vested interests are uncomfortable with the emergence of the university transparency (UTAS) because of its possibility to expose the IIPIS fraud. The earlier impression  created was that no further payment of salaries could be made without “data capture”.
 The IPPIS office rove all academic staff in federal universities forcefully to the platform and what is being done now is to “formalise” the process. 
Planned withholding and distortion of salary payments by the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) are ploys to hoodwink and arm-twist ASUU members to swallow their vomit on IPPIS.
 non-members also respect ASUU for its well informed and principled position on IPPIS”.
