The Federal
Government has declared lecturers yet to be captured in the newly introduced
Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System(IPPIS) won’t be paid
February salary.
It also disclosed
that about 55 percent members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) has so far registered in IPPIS.
The Minister of
Finance, Budget and National Planning, Hajiya Zainab Ahmed stated these while
addressing reporters at the opening of the 2020 Management Retreat for Treasury
Directors of Finance and Directors of Internal Audit in Kano on Thursday.
“Unfortunately most
reforms that you undertake you come across resistance. We have had resistance
from ASUU on the implementation of the IPPIS and I am happy to report that at
least up to 55 percent of ASUU members are registered and the ones that are not
are not getting their February salary,” the minister declared.
Speaking on the need
for the IPPIS system, the minister said it has helped in identifying over
70,000 ghost workers in the Federal civil service and is hoping to make the
system free of ghost workers in future.
“It is in
eliminating ghost workers because you register on the IPPIS using biometrics
and we are currently working with the office of the head of service to link up
the IPPIS HR management module with the payroll itself. It will help us better
maximise the efficiency of the system.
“I know that we have
up to 70,000 ghost workers that have been identified in this process and we
hope that we will come to a time when we will say that we have no ghost
workers,” she stated.
