IPPIS: FG uncovers 1,618 civil servants with fake employment letters

The Federal Government says it has uncovered 1,618 civil servants with fake employment letters after the introduction of Integrated Personal and Payroll Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

The discovery was part of the Federal Government’s efforts to block leakages and incessant infiltration of ghost workers in the civil service.

The Head of Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, on Tuesday, disclosed the progress recorded while speaking during a media conference ahead of the 2023 civil service week.

Yemi-Esan said 69,854 officers have been captured in the core Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) across the six geopolitical zones of the country and the Federal Capital Territory.

She added that the exercise has recorded continuous suspension of officers from the IPPIS platform for not uploading their records.

The Head of Service also revealed that the government was working towards an upward review of the Duty Tour Allowances of civil servants.

“Presidential Committee on Salary Harmonization is working to review salaries to reduce the disparity. 40% of basic salary has been approved by FEC as Peculiar allowance with effect from January 2023. Also, we are working towards upward review of staff Duty Tour Allowance (DTA),” she said.

It was reported earlier this week that a total of 3,657 civil servants have been taken by the Federal Government before the Independent and Corrupt Practices and related offences Commission (ICPC) for prosecution for failing to get verified on the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS).
