Federal Government Ends IPPIS For Tertiary Institutions – Green White Green

The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has confirmed that the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) will no longer be used for federal tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

This change follows a directive from the Federal Government to remove these institutions from the IPPIS platform.

Bawa Mokwa, the Director of Press and Public Relations at the OAGF, shared this update during an interview. “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,” he stated.

Instead of using IPPIS, salaries for November and beyond for these institutions will now be processed through the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS). Institutions are required to prepare payrolls in Excel format and submit them to IPPIS for review and verification.

Addressing concerns about possible changes to salary account details, the OAGF issued a statement clarifying that there has been no directive asking workers to switch financial institutions for their IPPIS accounts. According to the statement, the OAGF is committed to protecting employees’ welfare and aims to avoid causing unnecessary concerns.

The OAGF emphasized that any changes to salary account details should be a personal choice by individual workers and that no such instructions have been issued by IPPIS.

Additionally, the Treasury urged banks to ensure smooth and secure management of accounts holding employees’ salaries. The OAGF also expressed confidence in regulatory agencies to maintain the stability of financial institutions.
