December 14, (THEWILL) – The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has extended its sincere appreciation to the Federal Government for the recent decision to exempt universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and other tertiary institutions from the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS).
