Fake workers have infiltrated IPPIS platform, FG cries out

  • Suspends 3,000 workers’ salaries

 

The federal government on Tuesday raised the alarm that civil servants with fake employment letters have infiltrated its Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) meant to block financial leakages caused by ghost workers.

It also said it had ordered that over 500 names of fake workers forwarded by the Federal Civil Service Commission be delisted from the platform and salaries of at least 3,000 workers be suspended for not undergoing verification exercise.

Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Folashade Yemi-Esan, stated this at the headquarters of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Abuja, during a National Policy Dialogue with the theme, “Entrenching Transparency in Public Service Recruitment in Nigeria.”

The alarm came barely 24 hours after members of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) threatened to expose politicians and government officials that were allegedly sabotaging the government’s efforts at resolving the controversial IPPIS impasse.

But speaking at the dialogue, the HCSoF explained that her office had taken decisive steps to nip in the bud the alarming sharp practices and acts of impunity being perpetrated on the IPPIS.

Daily Trust reports that universities workers had earlier rejected IPPIS, calling on the federal government to subject the platform to integrity test the same way it subjected University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) and other payment platforms to tests.
