Mr. Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), attributed the current difficulties in paying salaries at federal tertiary institutions to what he described as a “hasty and uncoordinated migration from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) to the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS).”
On Monday, Ogunjimi addressed a one-day stakeholders’ interactive meeting in Abuja with vice chancellors, rectors, provosts, and regulatory bodies of federal tertiary institutions regarding payroll processing.
The AGF admitted that non-compliance with the technical transition guidelines led to disruptions in salary payments, third-party deductions, and pension remittances, which sparked a wave of complaints from across the education sector.
