Abuja, July 2, 2024 – The Federal Government has given its employees up to July 31 to update their Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) details.
The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) gave the directive through a circular signed by signed by Dr. (Mrs) Oluwatoyin Madein, the Accountant-General of the Federation.
The circular directed government employees to access the newly deployed OAGF-IPPIS Payroll Validation Portal to update their personal and payroll information.
The update window will close at midnight on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
Madein emphasised the importance of the exercise, noting that “upon successful submission of the update, employees are expected to print three (3) copies of the completed record update summary page which will be used in the future for physical staff verification exercises.”
The circular reads in parts: “It has become necessary to issue guidelines following the observation that some critical payroll records are inaccurate or incomplete; hence the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation is in the process of updating and validating the payroll records.”
The OAGF said it had developed a user-friendly validation portal to streamline this process.
It directed the employees to visit the OAGF website at www.oagf.gv.ng to access the portal.
To complete the update, employees will need their IPPIS Number, Salary Account Number, and a valid Tax Identification Number (TIN), which can be obtained via the Joint Tax Board (JTB) site: https://tinverification.jtb.gov.ng/.
Madein warned that failure to comply with this directive would result in suspension from the payroll, stressing that “all employees are expected to update their Payroll Information on the Portal within the period stated above unfailingly. Any employee that fails to avail himself/herself of this opportunity will be suspended from the payroll.”
Accounting Officers, Directors/Heads of Finance and Accounts, and Internal Audit Units of MDAs and other arms of government have been instructed to ensure compliance and give the circular the widest possible circulation.
