IPPIS: Unverified FG workers for delisting from payroll after October 27 — HoS

992

In a bid to rid the payroll of ghost workers, the Federal Government has announced plans to delist workers not captured in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, disclosed this on Wednesday in a statement by the Director of Communications, Mr Mohammed Ahmed.

She said the capturing and verification exercise started two weeks ago and it is scheduled to end on Friday, October 27.

“Any officer whose record could not be verified will be delisted from the payroll of government,” she said.

Persecondnews recalls that IPPIS was introduced in 2007 by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration as an IT-enabled platform to establish reliable and comprehensive database for the public service, facilitate manpower planning, eliminate record and payroll fraud.

It is also to facilitate easy storage, update the retrieval of personnel
records for administrative and pension processes and staff remuneration payment with minimal wastages and leakages.

The statement said: “The Federal Government commenced the implementation of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) in the year 2007 with a view to attaining transparency, accuracy, safety and reliability in the management of Personnel Records, while also curtailing avoidable excesses in personnel costs.

“Driven by the Government’s quest to curb ghost workers syndrome and block leakages through personnel cost, the implementation of IPPIS commenced with the Payroll module rather than the Human Resource component.

“Adequate arrangements were put in place for a smooth exercise in designated areas of the FCT, however, the officers’ impatience and lack of orderliness in the first two days made the exercise rowdy.

“This has been duly addressed and the two-week exercise, scheduled to end on Friday, October 27, 2023, is progressing very well.”
