The Integrated Personnel Payroll Integrated System says the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the Federal Inland Revenue Service and a few other agencies are not on their platform because these agencies are revenue-generating entities.
The Director of IPPIS, Mr Olufehinti Olusegun, said this on media programme yesterday.
He further stated that these agencies do not draw their funding from the consolidate revenue account but may be enrolled in the platform later.
Mr Olusegun said this while reacting to complaints by the Academic Staff Union of Universities that the Federal Government was partial in its implementation of the IPPIS initiative by exempting the CBN, NNPC and other government agencies.
ASUU, which has rejected the initiative outright, had argued that if staff members of CBN, NNPC and others could be exempted from IPPIS, then it should not be made compulsory for university staff.
Responding to a question, Mr Olusegun said, the President’s directive was direct that all Ministries, Departments, Agencies or institutions drawing their salaries from the consolidated revenue fund, which is a Federal Government account, are to key into Integrated Personnel Payroll Integrated System.
