Oyogist.com learnt that Prof. Ogunyemi while addressing reporters after a three-hour closed-door session between ASUU and the leadership of the Senate, said the new alternative called ( University Transparency and Accountability Solution) , UTAS, was a home-grown system that would end the eight-month industrial action by ASUU if embraced by the Federal Government.
He said, “We had a positive meeting which was cordial and we are going to continue from there. We will still meet again to continue from where we stopped.“We have developed what we call University Transparency and Accountability Solution. We have presented it to the Senate today and the Senate President commended it.
“We are going to present the platforms to other stakeholders. UTAS is home grown while IPPIS is foreign.“We have shown that we are inventors, we are creators of software and we are also capable of doing what our colleagues are doing in other parts of the world.”
