‘All Agencies, Institutions To Be On IPPIS’ — OAGF

The Federal Government has threatened to migrate all government
personnel, agencies and institutions to the Integrated Payroll and
Personnel information system (IPPIS) platform, despite resistance
from some quarters.

A statement by the Office of the Accountant General of the
Federation (OAGF) said AGF Ahmed Idris issued the threat in Uyo,
the Akwa Ibom capital, at a training for IPPIS Role Players in the
Southsouth.

Idris said: “The significant impact of the IPPIS prompted the
Federal Government’s decision to migrate all government personnel,
agencies and institutions to the platform.”

The AGF said his office had recorded significant successes in
the matter and assured that the office would not rest until all
government employees and agencies have been migrated into the
platform.

He promised that the Federal Government “will continue to
implement new ideas and necessary strategies to block all leakages
and sustain a flawless payroll and personnel management
system”.

Idris stressed that “the government is resolute in its
determination to find permanent solutions to hitches that may arise
in the operations of the IPPIS in order to sustain seamless payroll
management system”.

He added: “Since the inception of the IPPIS, there has been a
significant level of transparency in administration of government
payroll system. The IPPIS has brought greater efficiency into
planning for personnel emoluments and personnel budget.”

The AGF, who was represented by the Director of Consolidated
Accounts Department in the OAGF, Dr. Zubairu Salawu, explained that
to demonstrate government’s resolve to maintain an efficient
system, the training was organised to acquaint the IPPIS Role
Players with the workings of the policy in order to enhance their
efficiency to discharge their responsibilities in the centralised
platform.

“At this point in our national lives, the country needs men and
women with high level of integrity. Your schedule is a trust and
you are expected to be above board for the overall objective of
achieving government’s desired aim. Be the agents of progress and
ensure that as Role Players, you will contribute your best to this
process.”
