The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has confirmed the deactivation
of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) for Federal Tertiary
Institutions (FTIs), following the Federal Government’s decision to remove these institutions
from the IPPIS platform.
Bawa Mokwa, the OAGF’s Director of Press and Public Relations, disclosed the development in
an interview, explaining that the shutdown aligns with the government’s directive.
“It was only natural for the IPPIS platform for FTIs to be shut down, given the Federal
Government’s directive to remove these institutions from the system,” Mokwa stated. He added
that November salaries for staff in these institutions will be processed via the Government
Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), with institutions required to
submit payrolls in Excel format for verification and validation by IPPIS.
In response to circulating concerns about salary account changes, the OAGF clarified that no
directive has been issued requiring employees to change their bank details linked to IPPIS
accounts.
Mokwa further assured workers that their welfare remains a top priority and emphasized that the
government aims to avoid any misleading or panic-inducing information.
