The Nigerian government has sent Important message to all Civil servants in the country over Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS for payment
Federal workers have been given a February 17, 2025, deadline for identity verification as the government moves to weed out ghost workers.
This was contained in a memo by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation issued on Saturday.
Civil servants are expected to verify their identities on the portal of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System amid the planned stoppage of salaries and other sanctions for ghost workers.
Civil servants had been in haste to generate their Taxpayers Identification Number to meet the deadline.
Part of the requirement for verification is the TIN alongside the IPPIS number and salary account number.
