Gbajabiamila's Former Aide and Coordinator of the Progressive Change Agents Initiative, Dr Seun Bosede Osamaye has commended President Bola Tinubu for his decision to remove federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS). This move showcases his commitment to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of our educational institutions.

According to Dr Osamaye, by removing these institutions from IPPIS, it is clear that the government recognizes the unique nature and complexities of the educational sector. This step will allow universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education to have greater autonomy in managing their payroll and personnel information. This will, in turn, foster a more streamlined and efficient system, ultimately benefiting both the educational institutions and their personnel.

Furthermore, this decision aligns with the government's vision to enhance the quality of education in Nigeria. It provides an opportunity for institutions to better allocate resources and develop customized payment systems that meet their specific needs. This flexibility will undoubtedly contribute to the overall improvement of our educational sector.

The decision in her words, " is a testament to your understanding of the intricacies involved in managing a sector as vital as education. By doing so, you have shown a willingness to adapt and provide a customized system that better suits the needs of our universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

This move will undoubtedly alleviate the administrative burdens faced by these institutions, allowing them to focus on their core mandate of imparting knowledge and contributing to national development. Additionally, it will ensure that the peculiarities of academic staff remuneration, such as research grants and earned allowances, are adequately captured and efficiently disbursed."

She further said "As a member of the academic community and a staunch advocate for quality education, I am filled with hope and optimism for the future. I believe that this decision will pave the way for greater innovation, research, and overall academic excellence".

As we prepare to commission the 200 Capacity Ultra-modern library built and donated by me Tomorrow, I'm glad our advocacy has started yielding the necessary results" 

Dr Osamaye also expressed gratitude to the Minister of Education,  Prof Tahir Maman for playing a pivotal role in this commendable decision. Their combined efforts are aimed at addressing the challenges faced by our educational system and promoting its growth. 

She finally expressed confidence that under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, our educational institutions will continue to flourish and contribute meaningfully to the development of our nation.
