NANS applauds Federal Government’s exemption of  tertiary institutions from IPPIS 

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has commended President Bola Tinubu led federal government over the recent decision to exempt universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and other tertiary institutions from the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS).

The student body said the exemption would serve as a significant relief for the tertiary institutions in addressing persistent concerns raised by academic authorities. 

In a statement by the Senate president of NANS, Akinteye Babatunde said that the responsiveness of President Tinubu to the pleas of the country’s educators underscores a commitment towards 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.”
