Minister of finance, budget and national planning, Zainab Ahmed says lecturers who have not enrolled for the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System(IPPIS) will not get their February salary.
Speaking with reporters at the opening of a management retreat in Kano on Thursday, the minister said about 55 percent members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have been captured on the platform.
Ahmed said though the federal government had resistance from ASUU over IPPIS, the objective of having them register is to check corruption.

She said, “Unfortunately most reforms that you undertake you come across resistance. We have had resistance from ASUU on the implementation of the IPPIS and I am happy to report that at least up to 55 percent of ASUU members are registered and the ones that have not are not getting their February salary.

“It is in eliminating ghost workers because you register on the IPPIS using biometrics and we are currently working with the office of the head of service to link up the IPPIS HR management module with the payroll itself. It will help us better maximise the efficiency of the system.
“I know that we have up to 70,000 ghost workers that have been identified in this process and we hope that we will come to a time when we will say that we have no ghost workers.”
