IPPIS: FG directs bursars to list problems of universities
The Nigerian government has asked bursars of federal universities to list the problems they have noticed in the payment of salaries through the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System platform so that they could be immediately addressed.
The IPPIS is the government’s accountability software that has been made compulsory for all public institutions, mainly for personnel payroll. The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities had initially supported the IPPIS initiative, but later said its trust in the system was eroded by irregularities noticed in the payment of their February salaries.Mr Ngige said one of the grievances the non-teaching staff of universities pointed out is that IPPIS is overtaxing them and “that IPPIS skipped some of their people who have taken leave of absence and the rest of them all.
“We decided that we have to do a physical meeting and we will do that as soon as possible. My office is working with the IPPIS office to arrange that meeting,” the minister said. “In the past four months, members have not received full salaries, while deductions made for the servicing of bank loans which members took have not been remitted to the banks and cooperative societies,” he said.
“The actual thing is that when it is deducted, it’s then remitted to the office of that union.
