President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that any Federal Government worker
not captured on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS)
by Oct. 31 would not be paid salary.
He made the disclosure to the joint session of the National Assembly in
Abuja on Tuesday.
Buhari also warned that all agencies of government must obtain permission
and follow due process as they embark on any recruitment exercise.
He said: “I have directed the stoppage of the salary of any Federal
Government staff that is not captured on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel
Information System (IPPIS) platform by the end of October 2019.
He said total overhead cost for the year 2020 stood at over N400 billion,
with additional provisions for the newly created ministries while warning the
respective Heads of Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) must ensure
strict adherence to government regulations regarding expenditure control
measures.
”The proliferation of Zonal, State and Liaison Offices by Federal
Ministries, Departments and Agencies (‘MDAs’), with attendant avoidable
increase in public expenditure, will no longer be tolerated,” the president
said.
