UTAS: Between ASUU and NITDA on integrity of payment platform-Abbass Badmus
By Abbass Badmus
Nigerians were alarmed by the latest report that a payment platform created by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has failed three integrity tests. (UTAS)
The ASUU’s preferred payment option known as the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) was created as an alternative to the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) that the Federal government uses to pay its workers in various sectors of the economy.
In fact, about 711 ministries, agencies in Nigeria are on the IPPIS platform, but ASUU insists on being the only stand out, not that alone. FG’s effort to accommodate ASUU’s rebellion is taken for a ‘pepper-soup’ ride by the Academic union.
The integrity test verdict was announced the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) – the organ with statutory mandate to superintend over technologies and digital advancements in the country.
The Director General of NITDA, Kashifu Inuwa during a briefing with Journalists after presenting the Agency’s findings at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) Meeting took time to explain vital points relating to the UTAS that should get concerned citizens thinking hard about possible way(s) out to quickly resolve the tangible concerns in order to get university teachers back to the classrooms.

One, NITDA boss explained that users’ acceptance test is key to the functionality of the UTAS, a test which the touted platform failed after people in the Bursary and Finance Departments tried it out.
“Firstly, because when you’re building system, it’s not just about the technology, you need to consider the people that will use this system and the process.
“If you don’t align people, process and technology, you will never get result. No matter how good the technology is, if the people don’t understand how to use it, they won’t use it. And if the process is different from the way the people work, also, they won’t use it,” Kashifu explained.
Frankly speaking, this point is elementary knowledge for basic communication students as propounded by the diffusion of innovation theory.
Secondly, he explained that the UTAS failed to meet requirement standards in testing for vulnerability. The nation’s Chief Technology Officer went as far as projecting the danger the ASUU’s purports, considering that it is a financial system. The fact that the UTAS is vulnerable means an open window for looters and certified kleptos to latch on and swindle Nigeria’s dry.
Furthermore, Mr Kashifu explained that a technology like that need to be durable in order not to collapse on an overload due to stress. In that regards too, the UTAS failed the test.
“You can build a system on your laptop or on a small computer, use it but when you put so many data it will crash, we need to do the stress test to make sure that system can do,” the NITDA boss explained.
To compound the problem, ASUU is yet to reveal the data center where it wants its system installed.
Before releasing its finding, NITDA had submitted its report to the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy who in turn forwarded to relevant institutions, including ASUU itself.
Expectedly as the news trickled in, eyebrows raised and the daggers were drawn along the line of sentiments and myopic deductions – especially by those who only read headlines without the contents in the body.
Sadly, even ASUU itself condescended to this level of pathetic bickering when its president, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, at a Sunrise Daily Program on Channel’s Television wholesomely faulted all the statements of Director General of NITDA.
Professor Osodeke did not only stop there he went on to spew derogatory remarks on the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Professor Ali Ibrahim Pantami.
He also accused NITDA of giving misleading reports to Federal Executive Council on the UTAS platform as they were never present at any of the agreed meetings.
“If you subject this to a test today, we will have 99%, but they went ahead to tell the country a lie and this is why they are creating problems in this country,” the ASUU president claimed.

He further claimed that the UTAS has passed through an integrity test and passed 77% and also passed through an end-user test and it scores 88%.
It is curious that ASUU did not initially raise the alarm when it received the report from the Minister but is now turning around on the defensive after the integrity of their product is publicly questioned.
Since the NITDA and ASUU have made claims and counter claims on the integrity of payment platform and in order to preserve the sanity of Nigerian populace in the ensuing imbroglio and the integrity of both parties should have the courage to appear on a public debate and trash out contentious issues in public glare. This is a challenge whose gauntlet must be picked up by the truth bearers.
The debate will avail Nigerians the opportunity to know who is playing with their their intelligence and make better and informed judgements.

No, Canadian no deposit bonus codes can be available for both new and existing players. Some casinos offer these bonuses as part of a welcome package for new players, while others may offer them as part of a special promotion for existing players. NOTE: Remember that getting free spins no deposit with no ID verification is not guaranteed. That’s because these casinos might ask you for KYC or ID documents when you sign up. They are required to verify the identity of players from Canada in line with their gambling license. So if this happens then you will need to provide the required documents in order to get the free spins no deposit. In other words, an online casino Canada no deposit bonus. The players grab it, only to find out that the promotion was sticky, and they ain’t getting any money. Non-sticky is a Canadian online casino no deposit bonus keep what you win.

They include NTUC Club, which runs Scarlet City jackpot room in Ang Mo Kio Hub, and some Safra and HomeTeamNS clubhouses. -Clubs operating slots must enforce the exclusion scheme under the National Council on Problem Gambling Enter your email and we’ll send you a password reset link! Players will also no longer have easy access to fresh funds with the prohibition on ATMs, Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale systems, and credit card facilities in jackpot machine rooms. Advertising and promotions of these machines will be prohibited within clubhouses, on the Internet, and on other media platforms. These regulations are expected to kick in by end of the year. Currently, clubhouses can advertise the jackpot rooms only within their premises. Retiree Lim Swee Kee, 77, who visits the jackpot room at NTUC Club in Ang Mo Kio Hub twice a week, said: “I have no children and I’m not working, so I need to occupy myself … What is the point of earning so much when we were younger if we are not allowed to spend it on what we like when we are old?”

The final look is meant to enhance your natural lashes with more length, fullness, and lift. Whether that look is more dramatic or more natural is up to the client, but generally, the more lashes applied, the more dramatic the effect. A typical treatment involves anywhere from 80-140 individual extensions per eye, with lashes ranging in length from 6-18mm, according to Richardson. “It’s not one size fits all,” she explains. “For instance, if you have damaged lashes, or naturally weak, short natural lashes, it’s not always possible to get a more dramatic look that a client with stronger, thicker lashes can achieve.” Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
