President Bola Tinubu has instructed that staff of public Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education captured in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System(IPPIS) to exit the payment platform.
The Minister of Education, Prof Mamman Tahir disclosed the information on Wednesday, shortly after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu.
Mamman said the President and the Council were concerned about the efficiency of management of the universities, noting that the decision had nothing to do with integrity or options of platforms.

He said the President cannot understand why Vice Chancellors should be leaving their duty post and run to Abuja to get staff enlisted on IPPIS when they get recruited.
According to the Education Minister, the basic concern is that universities are governed by laws. Those laws give them autonomy in certain respects and the IPPIS has sort of eroded that autonomy granted universities in accordance with their Act.
But offering more explanations on the Presidential directive, Minister of Information and National Orientation , Muhammed Idris said, “Today, the universities and other tertiary institutions have gotten a very big relief from the integrated payroll and personnel information system.
