No directive for workers to change salary accounts, says FG
The Federal Government (FG) has confirmed that no instruction was issued for federal workers to switch the financial institutions linked to their Integrated Personnel and Payroll
Information System (IPPIS) salary accounts.
The office of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) gave the clarification on Monday in a statement by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Bawa Mokwa.
The AGF assured employees that IPPIS prioritized their welfare and would not implement any measure that has the likelihood of causing confusion or tension.
The clarification is sequel to concerns over potential directives that could require employees to change their bank accounts for salary payments, as some banks undergo system upgrades.
The OAGF added that any request to change salary accounts remained a personal decision for each worker.
The OAGF also urged financial institutions to enhance customer confidence by ensuring consistent and reliable service delivery to individuals who have opted to domicile their salaries with them.
“The OAGF tasked financial institutions to implement necessary strategies to boost customer confidence and guarantee efficient fulfilment of their obligations to persons whose salaries are domiciled in such financial institutions, as well as to Nigerians in general.
Employees with legitimate reasons to update their salary accounts on the IPPIS platform were advised to adhere strictly to official procedures for such changes.
