The Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Ahmed Idris, has stated that the Federal Government of Nigeria, is committed to migrating all government personnel, agencies and institutions from the Consolidated Revenue Fund to the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System platform (IPPIS).
The AGF said this on Monday, August 30, at the training of IPPIS role players held at Ibom Icon Hotel and Golf Resort, Uyo, in Akwa Ibom State.
Idris, was represented by the Director Consolidated Account/IPSAS, office of the Accountant General, Salawu Zubairu.
While noting that the task has not been an easy one due to the peculiarities of some of the agencies and institutions, he assured that the office of the AGF, has recorded a huge success in that regard.
AGF Idris said;
“It is heart-warming that since the inception of the IPPIS payment platform, there has been a significant level of transparency in government payroll administration. Furthermore, the IPPIS has brought greater efficiency into planning for personnel emoluments as well as planning for personnel budget.
“In the light of the benefits of the system, the Federal Government resolved to migrate all government personnel, agencies and institutions that draw their personnel cost from the Consolidated Revenue Fund to the IPPIS platform.
“This task, which was saddled on the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, has not been an easy one due to peculiarities of some of these agencies and institutions.
“However, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation has recorded significant successes in this regard. Let me assure you, that the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation will not rest on this mandate to integrate all government employees and agencies into the IPPIS.”
Recall that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), had embarked on a strike action, protesting the removal of their members from the Consolidated Revenue Fund system of payment, to the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System platform.
