Nigeria News
In a bid to curb corruption and eliminate ghost workers from the payroll, the
Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, OHCSF, yesterday
announced plans to delist unverified civil servants from the Integrated
Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS, and stop payment of their
salaries after October 27.
IPPIS, introduced in 2007, is a centralized platform designed to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the payment of salaries and wages for civil servants.
However, it has come under scrutiny in recent years due to reports of irregularities, including the presence of fake or non-existent employees on the system.
To address these concerns, the HoS mandated a comprehensive verification process for all government employees to authenticate their eligibility to receive salaries.
As part of the verification, civil servants were required to provide their biometric data along with relevant identification documents.
But, in a statement signed by Director, Communications, OHCSF, Mohammed Ahmed, in Abuja, the HoS lamented that a significant number of civil servants had failed to comply with the verification requirements, despite repeated reminders and extensions.
