BREAKING: FG Announces Date To Stop Salaries Of Many Workers (DETAILS)
The Federal Government has announced that, starting Friday, the salaries of public officers whose records cannot be verified on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) will be halted.
This information was conveyed in a statement signed by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, and provided to journalists by her Director of Communications, Mohammed Ahmed, on Wednesday.
The statement further explained that a two-week verification period, concluding on Friday, October 27, 2023, was established as an act of leniency for officers who had not participated in the earlier verifications.
“Adequate arrangements were put in place for a smooth exercise in designated areas of the FCT, however, the officers’ impatience and lack of orderliness in the first two days made the exercise rowdy. This has been duly addressed and the two-week exercise, scheduled to end on Friday, October 27, 2023, is progressing very well.
In 2013, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, which holds official records and information on all public servants, was tasked with the responsibility of purging the payroll records.
Utilizing technology, the office introduced a verification portal in April 2017 and instructed all public servants to conduct online updates of their records.
The office conducted extensive awareness campaigns through official channels, traditional platforms, and social media.
As stated, an initial period of three months was provided for compliance, and this deadline was subsequently extended to May 2018 to allow all officers ample time to update their records.
The statement added, “Sequel to another wide publicity accompanied by numerous pre-verification sensitisation visits by IPPIS staff to Ministries, extra-ministerial Departments, and Agencies nationwide, the second phase of the exercise, the physical verification, commenced in 2018.
“In this regard, 500 staff from the OHCSF were trained and deployed, in well-communicated and coordinated phases, to the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT between 2018 and 2019 to enable officers to carry out the physical verification in their states and save them to from traveling to Abuja.”
The statement further maintained that some erring officers’ pleas to be given the last opportunity to comply were granted, adding that the portal was, therefore, reopened from October 3-13, 2023, for them to update their records and now to Friday, October 27, 2023, before action is taken on defaulters.
