IPPIS: No directive issued for workers to change salary accounts — OAGF
The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has stated that it has not issued any directives for workers to change the salary accounts registered on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS).
The OAGF made its position known in a statement issued yesterday by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Mr. Bawa Mokwa.
The OAGF explained that the IPPIS Office has no reason to issue any instruction that would “mislead, misguide, or cause unnecessary panic among workers.”
The statement further noted that any request to change a salary account is a personal decision made by the employee concerned.
“The IPPIS Office has not issued any general directive on this matter, as there is no need to do so. We encourage relevant institutions to implement strategies that enhance customer confidence and ensure the efficient management of obligations to employees with salary accounts in these financial institutions,” the statement read in part.
The statement also noted that there are agencies statutorily tasked with assessing the health and viability of financial institutions and expressed confidence in these agencies’ capabilities.
The OAGF advised workers who have legitimate reasons to change their salary accounts on the IPPIS platform to follow the official procedures.
