In an effort to eliminate ghost workers from the federal payroll, the Nigerian government has mandated all civil servants to verify their identities by February 17, 2025. The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation issued a memo outlining the requirement for verification through the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) portal. Failure to comply may result in salary stoppage and other sanctions.
The Nigeria n government is cracking down on ghost workers in the civil service by giving all federal employees a deadline of February 17, 2025, to verify their identities. This information was conveyed in a memo from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, obtained by DAILY POST on Saturday. \The memo states that civil servants must verify their identities on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System ( IPPIS ) portal.
Failure to do so could result in salary stoppage and other sanctions against those identified as ghost workers. The verification process requires employees to provide their Tax Identification Number (TIN), IPPIS number, and salary account number. \The memo explains that the deadline extension was granted following the Treasury Circular with Ref. No. TRY/A6&B6/2024-OAGF/CAD/026/Vol. V/910 dated June 27, 2024, and a subsequent extension on August 16, 2024. The extended deadline provides an additional week for employees who were unable to complete their validation before the initial cutoff. The portal will be accessible on the OAF website: www.oagf.gov.ng. A final reminder emphasizes that all employees must finalize their payroll information updates by 12 midnight on Monday, February 17, 2025. The memo warns that those who miss this opportunity may face consequences, including being removed from the payroll. Accounting Officers, Directors/Heads of Finance & Accounts, and Internal Audit Units of MDAs and other arms of government are tasked with ensuring widespread dissemination of the circular and strict compliance
