President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the payment of withheld salaries of lecturers that are yet to join the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).



The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, announced this on Tuesday in a statement signed by his new media aide, Emmanuel Nzomiwu.

The Minister said President Buhari also directed the Minister of Finance, Budget and Planning, and the Accountant General of the Federation, to effect the directive with immediate effect.

The payment is to cushion the effects of the lockdown occasioned by the deadly coronavirus on lecturers and their dependents.
