Over 90,000 university workers have been captured in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), it was learnt on Wednesday.

The Director in charge of IPPIS in the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), Mr. Olufehinti Olusegun, stated this in a chat with told The Nation in Abuja.

He said the process of capturing the university workers, lecturers included, continues.


The director explained that after the pay-rolling, the IPPIS team would review the wild data collected to determine if there is anybody who is not supposed to be on the payroll that has been captured.

On what will happen to university workers not yet enrolled into the new payroll system, Olusegun said he had no idea what fate awaits such persons.


According to him, the Federal Government is “not at war with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)”.

Olusegun added: “The consultation is ongoing. We will keep on letting them realise the importance of coming on board. It is for their own good. Many of them seem to have realised that the Federal Government is their paymaster.” Thenationonlineng
