The National Association of Nigerian Students on Wednesday commended the Federal Government for excluding universities, polytechnics and colleges of education from the platform of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System.
The association, in a statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja and signed by the NANS Senate President, Akinteye Babatunde, said the exemption came in as a significant relief to the staff of the tertiary education sub-sector.
The statement reads, “This exemption serves as a significant relief for our universities and tertiary institutions, addressing the persistent concerns raised by academic authorities. The responsiveness of President Bola Tinubu to the pleas of the educational sector underscores a commitment to fostering a conducive environment for learning and academic excellence.
“We commend the government’s understanding of the intricacies involved and its willingness to engage in dialogue to arrive at a solution beneficial to all stakeholders.
“As we celebrate this positive development, NANS calls upon our esteemed lecturers to embrace this opportunity by being proactive in fulfilling their duties. The heart of our nation’s progress lies in the education imparted within these institutions, and the dedication of lecturers is pivotal to shaping the future of our country.
“NANS encourages a renewed sense of collaboration between the government and educators to ensure the continuous improvement of our educational system. Let us collectively work towards creating an atmosphere conducive to academic growth, research, and innovation.
“Once again, we express our gratitude to the Federal Government for heeding the pleas and look forward to continued collaboration with the government to address challenges and enhance the quality of education in Nigeria.”
