FEC urges SGF to expedite removal of Varsities from IPPIS

Abuja, Nigeria – The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has called on the Secretary of the Government of the Federation to expedite the implementation of a decision made months ago to separate universities from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) platform.

This directive aims to address ongoing concerns and improve the management of university payroll and personnel systems. The council emphasized the importance of timely action to ensure the smooth transition and effective administration of universities’ payroll processes.

In a tweet by the Special Adviser on Media to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Mr Bayo Onanuga said the Council ratified the anticipatory approval given on 28 May 2023 by former President Muhammadu Buhari to establish the university in the Federal Capital. The university is the first of the network of Pan African Institutes of Science and Technology dedicated to teaching African scientists and technologists.
