Lagos – Mrs Nana Mede, Director,
Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), on Friday said
that the Ministry of Finance had removed 46, 861 names from the Federal
Government’s payroll, through its centralised data.
Mede said at a federal universities
sensitisation workshop on incorporation of all Ministries, Departments and
Agencies (MDAs) into the IPPIS platform, that about N139 billion was saved
through the exercise.
The event, which held at the
University of Lagos, Akoka, was attended by the representatives of all federal
universities in the South-West zone.
The team will also be visiting all
the federal universities in the six geo-political zones.
A similar sensitisation by the IPPIS
team from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation had been
carried out at the federal universities in the South-South and the South-East
zones.
Mede said the removal of the names
came against the backdrop of indications of non-application of such names in
corresponding data, in the payroll of the government’s IPPIS.
She said that the IPPIS platform was
dealing with the actual and not estimates.
“We work with active and physical
persons.
“Contrary to some reports, the
application of this platform is not meant to take people’s jobs nor go after
ghost workers alone.
“Rather, it is designed to ensure
that the records of all employees of government are brought under a central
data base.
“Before now, government had
expressed worries about the high personnel costs of its workforce, as the
system in place, as at that time, made it difficult to plan, manage and make
effective budgeting.
“Through this medium, wastages are
cut down, as well as promote effective planning and decision-making.
“It has also facilitated automation
and storage of personnel records, to support monitoring of staff emolument
payment against budget,” she said.
Mede said that the World
Bank-financed platform, introduced in 2006 with seven MDAs in its pilot,
currently had 292 MDAs on its platform.
She said that the platform moved
into the university system to assist government in facilitating training and
improved welfare packages.
The official also said that the
platform would help in keeping accurate records that would facilitate planning
for purposes of pension.
“The university system is unique and
has its peculiarities. They already have their payment structure the way it
suits their operations.
“That is why we are taking out time
to sensitise them on the operations of the IPPIS, show them what we have put in
place for them, and in turn get their contributions on how to straighten out
grey areas.
Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor of
UNILAG, Prof. Rahamon Bello, lauded the IPPIS team for its contribution to
sanitising the civil service.
Bello, who was represented on the
occasion by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, (Academics and Research), Prof.
Babajide Alo, urged government to be mindful of the payment structure in place,
to avoid disruption. (NAN)
