He said, even if the government had accept the UTAS as a payment mode against the IPPIS which has been rejected by ASUU; The senator still doubt if ASUU has the financial capability to finance the procurement of the necessary hardware for its implementation.
The Minister said that the Federal Government did not make any budgetary provision for the procurement of the UTAS hardware and wondered if the union has the required finances for such a project.
