The federal government has fixed February 17 as the deadline for civil servants to validate their identity on the integrated payroll and personnel information system (IPPIS).
The deadline is contained in a memo issued by the office of
the accountant-general of the federation.
“Following the Treasury Circular with Ref. No.
TRY/A6&B6/2024-OAGF/CAD/026/Vol. V/910 dated 27th June, 2024 on the above
subject matter and subsequent extension dated 16 August, 2024, I am directed to
inform you that AGF has approved the extension of the OAF-IPPIS Payroll
Validation Portal for an additional one week (10 – 17” February, 2025),” the
memo reads.
“The portal will be deployed and made accessible to those employees
who were unable to complete their validation before the end of the earlier
deadline. Visit OAF website: www.oagf.gov.ng and access the portal.
“It is hereby emphasised that all employees concerned are
expected to conclude the update of their payroll information on or before 12
midnight of Monday, February 17, 2025.
“Please note that officers who fail to avail themselves of
this last opportunity may suffer some consequences which may include suspension
from the payroll.
“Accounting Officers, Directors/Head of Finance &
Account and Internal Audit Units of MDAs and other Arms of Government are
enjoined to give this circular the widest circulation it deserves and ensure
compliance.”
In June 2024, Folasade Yemi-Esan, former head of the civil
service of the federation, said some workers who relocated abroad were still on
government payroll.
Days later, President Bola Tinubu said civil servants who
relocated abroad but are still drawing salaries from federal coffers must
refund the money.
“The culprits must be made to refund the money they have
fraudulently collected. Their supervisors and department heads must also be
punished for aiding and abetting the fraud under their watch,” Tinubu said.
The president added that the Nigerian civil service should
not be just a workplace where ‘anything is possible’, with workers violating
rules without the fear of punishment or repercussion.
