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 development follows the federal government’s decision to exclude these institutions from the IPPIS platform.
The Director of Press and Public Relations at the OAGF, Bawa Mokwa, disclosed this in an interview with The Nation.
Mokwa stated, “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 further explained that the salaries for FTIs in November would be processed through the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS).
Institutions have been instructed to prepare their payrolls in excel format and submit them to the IPPIS office for verification and validation.
Addressing concerns about changes to salary account details, the OAGF clarified that it had not issued any directive instructing workers to alter the financial institutions linked to their IPPIS accounts.
Mokwa emphasised, “Workers’ welfare remains a top priority, and no misleading or panic-inducing instructions would be given.”
Mokwa also noted that any decision to change salary accounts rests solely with the individual workers and is not mandated by the IPPIS office.
The OAGF urged financial institutions to improve their services to ensure effective management of workers’ salary accounts. It expressed confidence in regulatory agencies overseeing the financial sector, trusting in their ability to maintain the health and stability of financial institutions.
Workers who have valid reasons for changing their salary accounts were advised to follow the official procedures outlined by the OAGF to ensure a seamless transition and avoid disruptions in payroll processing.
