The Federal Government has officially taken Federal Tertiary Institutions (FTIs) off the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), resulting in the platform’s shutdown for these institutions.
According to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), this change aligns with a recent directive to transition FTIs to an alternative payroll management system.
Starting this month, salaries for staff in these institutions will be processed via the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), requiring institutions to submit payroll data in Excel format for verification.
The OAGF has assured workers that there’s no need to alter their salary account details as no mandate for account changes has been issued.
The office emphasized the focus on maintaining workers’ welfare, encouraging financial institutions to ensure robust handling of salary-related accounts.
Employees who choose to change their salary accounts are advised to use the official channels provided by the OAGF for a seamless transition.
