President, Muhammadu Buhari has said that only workers captured on the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System(IPPIS) platform would be paid salaries.
The president made this known during the presentation of the proposed 2021 Budget to the National Assembly on Thursday.
He explained that the decision not to pay federal workers that a yet to be captured on the IPPIS was to reduce personnel cost.
He said, “Personnel cost is still our largest single item of expenditure. In the 7 months to 31st July 2020, it accounted for 34 percent of total Federal Government spending and is projected at 33 percent of 2021 expenditure.”
“To check the incidence of payments to non-existent personnel and unauthorised allowances, only Federal staff that have been captured on the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (‘IPPIS’) platform will receive salaries.”
“All agencies have been directed to ensure that they obtain all necessary approvals before embarking on any fresh recruitment. Any breach of these directives will be severely sanctioned,” the president added.
