President Bola Tinubu has approved the withdrawal of public universities from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS.
Prof. Mamman Tahir, Minister of Education, revealed the information on Wednesday, immediately after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu.
Muhammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation, elaborated on the presidential directive, said:
“Today, the universities and other tertiary institutions have gotten a very big relief from the integrated payroll and personnel information system.
“You will recall that the university authorities and the others have been clamouring for the exemption of the universities and other tertiary institutions from this system.
“Today, Council has graciously approved that. What that means is that going forward, the universities, like the Minister of Education has said, and other tertiary institutions, the polytechnics and colleges of education, will be taken off the IPPIS.
“What that means in simple language is that the university authorities and other tertiary institutions will now be paying their own personnel from their own end instead of relying on the IPPIS.”
