In an announcement marked by its Chairman, Mr. Niyi Akinsiju, BMO said that such activity could truncate smooth scholarly exercise across the country.
"ASUU ought not to enable itself to be viewed as saboteurs of a plan that is getting rid of phantom specialists and improving the proficiency of finance organization in state-funded colleges," the announcement made accessible to newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja said.
As indicated by him, ASUU's arrangement for a standoff over IPPIS can without much of a stretch be deciphered as debasement battling back.
"This is a plan that has, since 2017, spared the nation over N230 billion that could have gone into private pockets through the invented installment of compensations and benefits, as per the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF).
"Since President Buhari gave a mandate that all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), drawing pay rates and faculty costs from the Consolidated Revenue Fund be taken a crack at the IPPIS, even the Police and the Armed Forces have joined.
"In any case, shockingly, a gathering that is viewed as an accumulation of savvy people is at the bleeding edge of the resistance to its full usage," BMO executive said.
As per him, ASUU is starting its position on the ground that IPPIS will dissolve the independence of the University framework and the idiosyncrasies of their earned remittances.
"Nigerians are, in any case, mindful that Buhari, in his spending discourse at a joint sitting of the National Assembly on Oct. 8, clarified that any individual or gathering not enlisted under the plan by October will lose their compensations.
"Things being what they are, would one be able to state that ASUU is compromising a standoff so as to extort the administration to support a defilement perplexed framework that has throughout the years cost the nation a few billions of naira?
"This is certifiably not a decent advancement and we wonder what the college instructors are truly up to, with what can without much of a stretch be deciphered as an obtrusive underwriting of debasement''.
Akinsiju encouraged ASUU to halt from preparing its individuals for a strike in any event when records show that the Federal Government had consented to take the quirks of the University framework into thought.
"We welcome Nigerians to take note of that occasionally in July this year, government authorities, drove by the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, held a gathering with all college-based associations, including ASUU, in the meeting room of the National Universities Commission (NUC), on the functions of IPPIS.
"This was a follow-up to a previous gathering in June with Vice-Chancellors, Registrars and Bursars of every Federal University, on the need to conform to the Presidential mandates on the strategy.
"A NUC record of the gathering with the associations shows that the Accountant-General was vehement that the feelings of trepidation of the University people group on the approach had been thought about.
"Idris was cited to have explicitly said that in spite of the fact that their worries were certified, the plan was adaptable enough to oblige eccentricities of installments," BMO administrator said.
As indicated by him, these installments incorporate holiday leave, low maintenance programs, appearances, installment of redistributed administrations and earned stipends, among others.
"We likewise know, for a reality, that the AGF told the associations that the unified finance would be set up by singular colleges and that the HR component would be dealt with by them.
"Things being what they are, the reason would just ASUU, out of the considerable number of associations, guarantee that the self-governance of Universities will undoubtedly be dissolved? We likewise saw that the teachers as of late raised a ridiculous contention on the legality of IPPIS!
"ASUU must maintain a strategic distance from a circumstance where it would be viewed as an association that is loath to responsibility in the college framework, particularly as the nation has a possibility of setting aside more cash once laborers in state-funded colleges are caught in the cost sparing plan," he said.
