Nigerian govt removes federal tertiary institutions from IPPIS

The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has confirmed the deactivation of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) for Federal Tertiary Institutions (FTIs).

This decision comes in light of the Federal Government’s directive to remove these institutions from the IPPIS platform.

In an interview with newsmen, the Director of Press and Public Relations at the OAGF, Bawa Mokwa said, “It was only natural for the IPPIS platform for FTIs to be shut down, given the Federal Government’s directive to remove these institutions from the system”.

Mokwa further highlighted that the processing of November salaries for FTIs would shift to the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS).

Addressing concerns regarding potential changes to salary account details, the OAGF clarified that no directive has been issued instructing workers to alter the financial institutions associated with their IPPIS accounts.

Mokwa emphasised that “workers’ welfare remains a top priority,” assuring that no misleading or panic-inducing instructions would be communicated.

He explained, “Any decision to change salary accounts is entirely personal for each worker, with no mandate from the IPPIS office”.
