....Suspends Assistant Director In Charge of IPPIS, others in OAGF for salary padding

As part of the ongoing efforts at taking firm control of his Administration, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly directed the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN to stop further payments to the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, MDAs, of the Federal Government till further notice.

A presidency told the Saturday Tribune in Abuja on Friday that the Presidential order was issued before the embattled CBN boss Godwin Emeifiele was suspended and handed over to the Department of State Services DSS for further action.

According to the source, the directive which came immediately after President Tinubu assumed office was to ensure accountability in the MDAs and to prevent looting of government treasury.

The source said that the directive was total and clear, with no exception Investigation revealed that following the development, the MDAs to have placed a total embargo on payments to their creditors till further notice and as well finding it difficult to operate as no more money coming from the government, CBN

A Director General of a federal Government Agency who confirmed the development to Saturday Tribune in confidence said that the directive had grounded operations for the second weeks running now as the Agency had no money to run its operations.

According to him, “Federal Government has placed an embargo on CBN to stop further payments to the MDAs, we are not expecting money from anywhere, debts are piling up, even money we are owing Media Houses for advertisements, we have no money to settle the debts.

” The saving grace we have is that the staff salaries are being paid directly from the office of the Accountant General of the federation, I think the situation will be normalized very soon”.

This came just as President Tinubu approved the suspension of the Assistant Director In Charge of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS). and others In the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, OAGF, for alleged Salary Padding
It was gathered that the Assistant Director at the OAGF in charge in charge of staff salary was alleged to have connived with some staff to pad up the salaries of an unspecified number of lower-level staff.

According to findings, many civil servants across several Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), including the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), have been suspended for alleged salary padding on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS).

The development was confirmed by a top official in the office of the Accountant General of the Federation, who hinted that those identified had been placed on suspension pending investigation.

According to him, “The scam was discovered when a level 7 officer whose salary should be in the range of N60,000 was paid over N400,000, which was in the range of a salary package of a Director.

” The salary padding racket had been on for a while among a small clique of civil servants in different MDAs with the IPPIS office in the OAGF as the epicenter.

The source further hinted that ” a staff suspected to be connected with the breach has been suspended to allow for a thorough investigation.”

“All necessary steps are being taken to strengthen the controls around the IPPIS payment platform, and an independent forensic audit of the entire payroll system is underway to ascertain if the reported breach is isolated or widespread,” the source further added.

Unfortunately, corruption in the federal public service doesn’t know tribe. When there is corrupt money to be made, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ijaw, Kanuri etc all come together in unity to milk the system. Once you’re in on the deal, you in and when you’re not in, you’re not in irrespective of ethnicities.

If the names of those involved in the salary padding are released, you will find almost all major ethnicities fully represented.

So 3 days to the selection he just dey tell all stake holders that he will not transmit the election when everyone already knew that election will be transmission online. He dey give news up and down, assuring Nigerians that he will transmit the election. Tinubu need to suspend inec chairman also.

That his words makes no meaning. He didn't say he will not not upload votes to irev. Maybe the data he meant is something like APC 39, PDP, 4, LP 32 etc to the irev. Bit as long as he still maintained that results sheet will be uploaded in irev, he shot himself in the leg. Because what's uploaded to the irev is an image and it contain voting results. So Mahmood no get sense. That his sneaky words are meaningless

Busted

Well said. I'm with you

Nigerians turned against ASUU’ because of IPPIS.

Wahalur

All those found guilty of Salary Padding MUST go to jail, not just suspended.
This country needs total cleansing.

Tinibu should cut down on unprofitable parastatals that are gulping Nigerian revenue

This is what hit the ground running means. Put your words into action. Tinubu is truly moving in the right direction and most Nigerians are satisfied with his moves.
But it'll be so painful he disappoints later on.
