IPPIS: Nigeria Government Sets Final Deadline For Final Validation

The federal government has set February 17 as the final deadline for civil servants to validate their identity on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

The directive which came through a memo issued by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation OAGF. also warned that failure to comply could result in the suspension of salaries.

The validation exercise is part of ongoing efforts to eliminate ghost workers, enhance payroll transparency, and curb financial leakages within the civil service.

The government has previously extended the deadline multiple times to allow workers to complete the process, but this latest announcement signals a firm stance on full compliance.

“Following the Treasury Circular with Ref. No. TRY/A6&B6/2024-OAGF/CAD/026/Vol. V/910 dated 27th June, 2024 on the above subject matter and subsequent extension dated 16 August, 2024, I am directed to inform you that AGF has approved the extension of the OAF-IPPIS Payroll Validation Portal for an additional one week (10 – 17” February, 2025),” the memo reads.

Civil servants are required to confirm their details through designated IPPIS verification centers nationwide. The government has also urged ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to ensure that their employees complete the process before the cut-off date.
